Chapter 8 - Management Tools describes the general-purpose management tools
which can be used to configure and manage your Print Server. All of these programs
require a version of Microsoft Windows. The BiAdmin program, which requires
Windows 95 or Windows NT, allows access to ALL settings, not just those
important in the AppleTalk environment.

In AppleTalk, you can use SimpleText to edit the Print Server’s CONFIG file and
the supplied PSTool program to send it to the Print Server. The procedure is as
follows:
1. Copy the following files from the Utility\Apple folder on the CD-ROM to an
appropriate folder on your hard disk.
PSTool
CONFIG.xxx
Select the appropriate CONFIG file for your model as follows:
config.1p Single parallel port model
config.2p1s Two parallel ports, 1 serial port
config.3p Three parallel ports
2. Use Chooser to select the desired Print Server.
3. Double click the CONFIG file, and edit it. The file should look like the example
below, but may vary depending on your model.
