D-Link DP-311P [39/68] Setting up apple talk printing in mac os 9

Setting up Apple Talk Printing

in Mac OS 9

The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the MacOS operating system.

It can be used for network communications over standard Ethernet or Fast Ethernet using the

EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary low-speed LocalTalk transport.

Your Print Server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can print from

any MacOS computer connected to your Ethernet network, either directly using an EtherTalk

connection, or indirectly through a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router.

NOTE: The Chooser name of a printer connected to one of the Print Server’s ports is the

same as its Port Name. If you are using AppleTalk printing, you will need to make sure that

every Port Name is unique among all of the network printers in your

AppleTalk zone. The Port Names shown in this manual are examples only.

Setting up the Print Server for AppleTalk Printing

To set up your Print Server so that it can be used for AppleTalk printing:

Select the Network tab and scroll to the bottom to the AppleTalk protocol section

Change the IP Address on one of the computers on your network to 192.168.0.x, where

x is any number between 11-254

Type 192.168.0.10 into the address field of your web browser. 192.168.0.10 is the

default IP Address of the DP-301U

Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh

If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk zones, you will have to specify which

zone the Print Server should be in. You should locate the Print Server in the same zone

as most of the users who will be using it. If your network is not divided into zones, the

AppleTalk Zone field should contain a single asterisk “*”

Note: Mac OS printing is supported for Postscript printers only!
