CHAPTER 7 APPLETALK (ETHERTALK) TCP/IP PRINTING
7-2
Macintosh Configuration
Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter 8 printer
driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript
errors on large networks). If you do not have the LaserWriter 8 driver you must
install them. Consult your Macintosh documentation for instructions on how to do
this.
Before you try to use the Brother Print Server, you must firstly enable the EtherTalk
protocol from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh. If the EtherTalk protocol
is not selected, or the Network Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's
Network Installer software to add these capabilities.
Please ensure that you install the appropriate PPD file supplied with your printer.
You will find a "BR-Script PPD installer" icon which will copy the necessary files
across from the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
Figure 1 Typical Macintosh Installer
The above screenshot is from a Brother HL-1200 series printer driver. However, you
will see a similar screen for all Brother printers that include a Macintosh printer
driver.
