Printing From a Macintosh® Using AppleTalk and TCP/IP or Rendezvous

This chapter explains how to configure the PostScript driver on a Network. For more information on how to configure the default Quick Draw driver on a Network, see the Quick Setup Guide included with the machine.

Overview

Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh® users to print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol.

With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP printing capability. This allows Macintosh® users to send print jobs using the TCP/IP protocol.

With the release of OS/X 10.2, Apple introduced support for Rendezvous printing. Rendezvous supports automatic network configuration. If you choose to use the Rendezvous features of your Brother product, you usually do not need to configure any IP address settings yourself.
