Machines running the Macintosh OS on your LAN can print on a PostScript printer attached to the Wireless Gateway. When such machines request information about network printers using the AppleTalk protocol, the Wireless Gateway will respond with the information shown in the Print Server panel. This information must be correct for successful printing.
The Zone Name is a text string identifying a group of devices using AppleTalk on a LAN. These devices can be concentrated in one area or scattered throughout the network. Ordinarily an asterisk [*] initially appears in the Zone Name box; this can represent “the local zone” (whatever its name might be), or it can mean that no zones are configured. If AppleTalk zones are configured on the network, click in the Zone Name box and type the name of the zone you want the printer to belong to.
Chooser Name is the name the Wireless Gateway will use for the printer when reporting its presence to machines running the Macintosh OS. The Wireless Gateway will construct a default name from the name given to the broadband router in basic setup, but you can change it to any text string you like.
The Printer Type is a text string that tells the Macintosh which driver to use for the printer. For a PostScript printer this should almost always be LaserWriter. This is the default value.
The PostScript Level can be 1 or 2. Unless the printer is a very old model, a setting of Level 2 should work best.
The Font Group setting tells the Macintosh how many PostScript fonts the printer has built in. All but the oldest PostScript printers can safely be assumed to have the “Standard 35” PostScript fonts.
