Apple LaserWriter (LPR only): Introduction

6.Apple LaserWriter (LPR only)

6.1.Introduction

The LPR printing protocol is based on TCP/IP, which requires the LaserWriter 8.5.1 printing software installed on the com- puter from which print jobs are sent.

The LaserWriter software is available on Mac OS 8.1.

Mac OS 7.5 through Mac OS 7.6.1 require separate installation of the LaserWriter 8.5.1 printing software; see “Mac OS 7.5 or Earlier” [page 53].

An appropriate print driver must be installed on your computer before proceeding with the steps shown below.
