For Mac OS 9

If you use Mac OS 9, you can use the AppleTalk network protocol using the EtherTalk transport or a proprietary low-speed LocalTalk transport. Your Print Server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can print from any Mac OS computer connected to your Ethernet network either directly using an EtherTalk connection or indirectly through a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router.

To set up the Print Server for AppleTalk printing:

Step 1 Please confirm that the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh computer.

Step 2 Change the IP Address on one of the computers within your network to 192.168.1.x (where x is any number between 2 - 200).

Step 3 Type the Print Server’s IP address into the address field of your web browser. (Default IP Address is 192.168.1.254).

Step 4 Click on Configuration and go to the AppleTalk Protocol page. If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk zones, you have to specify which zone the Print Server should be in. You should locate the Print Server in the same zone as most of the users who will be using it. If your network is not divided into zones, it should contain a single asterisk “*”.
