Read the detailed instructions on the drivers CD. Click View

networks, printer driver installation, and the process involved in
adding new network ports.
Macintosh Your printer connects automatically to AppleTalk networks and
becomes readily visible to other network clients.
Note: A PostScript (PPD) file
provides detailed information
about the capabilities of a printer
to UNIX or Macintosh drivers or
applications.
You must create a printer object (icon) on the desktop of each
network client using the LaserWriter 8 printer driver and the printer’s
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file.
Specific information about installing the printer on your AppleTalk
network can be found in the online documentation on the drivers CD
that shipped with your printer.
