Macintosh Print Queue Configuration
TROY200 Series Print Servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as
EtherTalk). This capability allows Macintosh computers to print jobs to a printer simultaneously with
jobs from Windows, UNIX, NetWare, and other computers.
TROY print server AppleTalk capabilities allow a printer to appear as a shareable printer node on an
AppleTalk Phase 2 network. The TROY print server broadcasts information to Macintoshes on the
network, and automatically appears in the Print Center or Chooser of each Macintosh. Application
programs (such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PageMaker, etc.) can print without modification or special
software on the Macintosh.
MACINTOSH CONFIGURATION (OS 8.X AND 9.X):
Identify the printer to which the print server is connected, and install the printer driver.
1. Verify that Ethernet is enabled from the Network Control Panel or AppleTalk Control Panel.
2. At a Macintosh workstation, from the Apple menu, open the Chooser.
3. If the Chooser window displays an AppleTalk zone list, select the necessary zone. Click on the icon
for the printer driver you are going to use. If you have a Postscript printer, you can use the
LaserWriter driver.
4. Select the print server name (the default is TWC_xxxxxx_P1_AT, where "xxxxxx" are the last six
digits of the Ethernet address.).
5. Close the Chooser. You can now print to the printer using any standard Macintosh application
program.
NOTE: TROY200 Series Print Servers are also compatible with the Macintosh TCP/IP Printer option in the Print
Center as long as you have a valid IP Address configured (refer to the section “Configuring your print server”).
Enter the IP Address of the print server for the “Printer’s Address”, and make sure the “Use default queue on
server” option is checked, and select your correct “Printer Model”.
