TCP/IP printing

Apple added TCP/IP printing to all versions including and after OS 8.6.

Note: Ensure that the Macintosh has version 8.6 or later. Earlier versions do not support TCP/IP printing as standard.

An IP printer is a network printer that uses TCP/IP protocols (such as LPD/LPR, IPP, or Socket or Jet Direct) to make itself accessible to your computer. If the IP printer you want to use is not listed when you want to print, you can add it to your list of available printers. To add an IP printer, you need to know its IP address or DNS name.

1Open the Applications folder > Utilities, and Print Setup Utility.

•For MAC OS 10.5, open System Preferences from the Applications folder, and click Printer & Fax.

2Click Printing > Set Up Printers.

3If the printer already appears on the Printer List, select the In Menu check box to add it to your list of available printers. You will see the printer in the Printer pop-up menu the next time you print.

4Click Add on the Printer List.

•For MAC OS 10.5, press the “+” icon then a display window will pop up.

5For MAC OS 10.3, select the IP Printing tab.

•For MAC OS 10.4, click IP Printer.

•For MAC OS 10.5, click IP.

6Select the appropriate printing protocol from the Printer Type pop- up menu.

7Enter the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Printer Address field.

8If your printer requires it, type the queue name for your printer in the Queue Name field.

9To use printer-specific features, choose the item appropriate for your printer from the Printer Model pop-up menu, then select your printer in the Model Name list.

10Click Add.

The printer appears on the Printer List as the default printer (in boldface). It also appears in the Printer pop-up menu when you print a document.

Bonjour printer

Usually used in Macintosh networks to search for network devices, Bonjour consists of IPv4 Link-Local Addressing, Multicast DNS, and DNS Service Discovery. Known as zero configuration networking, Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically find each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.

In order to provide a true zero configuration experience, meaning that you do not need to configure network parameters, the printer MUST have Bonjour enabled by default. It is NOT possible to disable any part of Bonjour.

After boot up, check the Bonjour printer name of this printer network card in Mac OS X.

1Open the Applications folder > Utilities, and Print Setup Utility.

•For MAC OS 10.5, open System Preferences from the Applications folder, and click Printer & Fax.

2Click Printing > Set Up Printers.
