To print to a network printer, each Macintosh user must install a custom PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file and either create a desktop printer on the computer (Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x) or create a print queue in Print Center (Mac OS X). Follow the instructions for your operating system:

3 Click Network Print Server.
4 Select the network printer from the Shared printers list. If the printer is not listed, enter the path of the printer in the text box.
The path will look similar to the following:
\\<server host name>\<shared printer name>
The server host name is the name of the server computer that identifies it to the network. The shared printer name is the name assigned during the server installation process.
5 Click OK.
6 Select whether you want this printer to be the default printer for the client, and then click Finish.
Note: If this is a new printer, you may be prompted to install a printer driver. If no system driver is available, then you will need to provide a path to available drivers.
