Chooser. You should now be able to print from the Macintosh.
If you cannot see the print server, first make sure that your cabling is correct and that you have enabled EtherTalk or (if applicable) LocalTalk from your Macintosh Network Control Panel. You may also need to force the TROY XCD print server into the correct AppleTalk zone using the SET APPLETALK ZONE command described in Appendix A.
Important: AppleTalk requires a PostScript printer.
Important: If you are using the parallel port, your printer must either support the IEEE P1284 Bitronics bidirectional standard (refer to your printer documentation) or you must enable AppleTalk spoofing by using the following command from the print server console (refer to Appendix A if you do not know how to use the console):
SET SERVICE servicename RECEIVE ENABLED
where servicename is the name of the AppleTalk service (XCD_xxxxxx_P1_AT by default, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the print server Ethernet address and "pp" is the port name).
Printing Binary Graphics
Scanned images and other types of graphics are frequently saved in a format known as binary PostScript. Hewlett- Packard and some other printers require that the printer be set in a special binary mode, which is unfortunately not always possible with an external print server. However, a TROY XCD external print server can print binary files under the following circumstances:
