This chapter explains how to print from a Macintosh® on a network using the Simple Network Configuration

capabilities on Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater.

Printing from a Macintosh® using the Simple Network

Configuration capabilities 7

With the release of Mac OS® X 10.2, Apple® introduced Simple Network Configuration capabilities.

The Simple Network Configuration capabilities of Mac OS® X lets you create an instant network of computers

and smart devices by connecting them to each other. The smart devices automatically configure themselves

to be compatible with your network. Before using the Simple Network Configuration capabilities, you must

install the printer driver. For installing the printer driver, see the Quick Setup Guide we provided with the

printer.

You do not need to manually configure any IP address or network strings within the printer as the printer will

automatically configure itself.

For Mac OS® X 10.5 7

aTurn the power of the machine ON.

bFrom the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
