Network printing environment

The Macintosh uses Printer Access Protocol (PAP) to communicate with one or more DocuPrint printers. For convenience, your internet may be divided into zones. A zone can be any logical grouping of individual workstations and printers. Your network administrator defines your zone when setting up the network.

Shown below are the workstations, networking options, and job submission methods available for each client.
