Setting Up Network Printing

3

With Macintosh

You can print from your Macintosh computer using AppleTalk or Bonjour/ Rendezvous.

You can connect this printing system to print server in an AppleTalk, a Bon- jour/Rendezvous environment and send print jobs from the Macintosh com- puter to this machine.

Network Connection Methods That Can Be Selected in Each Windows Operating System

This chapter describes the settings that must be specified for network print- ing.

Setting procedures differ depending on the method of networking printing used (SMB, Raw, LPR, or IPP printing). Select the best method of network printing for your Windows environment.

Reminder

Before setting up network printing, install the printer driver. For details on installing the printer driver, refer to “Installing the Printer Driver” on page 2-1.

To perform network printing, change the printer port for the installed printer driver to one for a network connection, and then change the set- tings on this machine as necessary. For an IPP connection, it is neces- sary to install the printer driver first.
