Choose the connection method most suitable for your needs.

NOTE

If the printer model is already displayed in the Print Center, Mac OS X may have automatically discovered it.

Although Mac OS X may automatically discover the printer, it may not be using the correct PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file.

In this case, you should delete the printer from Print Center, and then perform the following steps.

NETWORK CONNECTION USING APPLETALK

1.Launch the Print Center utility.

This is located in the Applications/Utilities folder.

2.Click Add Printer...

3.From the pop-up menu, choose AppleTalk.

4.Choose a printer to connect to.

5.Click Add.

NOTE

The correct PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file should be automatically selected for your printer.

6.From the Print Center menu, select Quit Print Center.

NETWORK CONNECTION USING TCP/IP

The printer can be connected over TCP/IP using LPR. LPR is simply a method of printing directly over TCP/IP, without the need for a print server.

1.Launch the Print Center utility.

This is located in the Applications/Utilities folder.

2.Click Add Printer...
