Using AppleTalk with NetWare servers

Users can print to the DocuColor from Mac OS computers via a NetWare print server. The AppleTalk protocol must be loaded on the NetWare server before you can set up the server to accept jobs from Mac OS clients. Then use the ATPSCON (AppleTalk Print Services) utility to configure a NetWare spooler for AppleTalk. The important settings for the spooler configuration are listed below.

NetWare Print Queue should be set to a DocuColor print connection.

Printer Model should be set to Generic PostScript.

Spooler’s AppleTalk Name should include DocuColor and possibly the name of the print connection (Print or Direct). This name appears in the Mac OS Chooser.

Spooler’s AppleTalk Type can be set to any setting. This setting has no effect.

Spooler’s AppleTalk Zone should be set to the appropriate zone.

Banner Page with Jobs should be set to No.

Advanced PostScript Options > Accept Binary Data should be set to Yes.

Advertise Color Device should be set to Yes.

After the NetWare spooler has been configured, set up Mac OS client computers for printing to the DocuColor as described in Getting Started.

Using AppleTalk with Windows NT

Windows NT servers can also use AppleTalk for printing with the DocuColor.

The important thing to note, in creating a printer that you are sharing with AppleTalk users, is NOT to “capture” the printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, DocuColor queues will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.

Loading the AppleTalk protocol on a Windows NT server is very similar to loading TCP/IP. If you are only using AppleTalk, you do not need an IP address or a Windows NT hosts file entry for the DocuColor queue or queues.
