Configuring for PC Network
Printing
You can use your printer on a network under Windows NT,
Windows 95, or another network operating system. First you
need to install your printer software as described in this
appendix. Then you need to set up your printer using the
network’s printer setup functions.
Note:
If you’re using a
Macintosh Quadra 900 or
950, you need to set up
the serial switch before
you select your printer in
the Chooser. Open the
Apple menu and select
Control Panel, then
choose Serial Switch.
Select Compatible, then
close the dialog box and
select your printer in the
Chooser as described in
step 10.
Note:
If you need to install a
network interface board
in your printer, see
Appendix A for
instructions.
