AXIS 5900 User’s Manual

45

On Mac OS 9.1 or older, basic configuration in AppleTalk is performed 

simply by opening the Chooser window and selecting a printer.

You can change the default name of your print server or any of default 

parameters by editing the print server’s config file. To access the config 

file from a Macintosh, you can use:

•

any Web browser with Javascript enabled

•

FTP using MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie

In order to use any of these methods, you must assign an IP address to the 

print server as described in “Setting Parameters” on page 47.

The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which version of 

LaserWriter printer driver you are using.

•

The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard PostScript 
driver, and cannot take advantage of any printer specific features.

•

The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer 
descriptions. This gives you full control over any features your printer 
might have.

The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using 

if you enable Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can then 

recognize Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most Epson and 

Hewlett Packard InkJet printers that have Mac OS printer drivers for 

network printing are supported. Without the Autodetect Printer Type 

function, the AppleTalk printer type has to be specified manually in the 

print server. For Epson InkJets it would be "EPSONLQ2" and for HP 

InkJets it would be "DeskWriter". If the print server does not recognize 

the connected printer, the default setting "LaserWriter" will be used as 

printer type. "LaserWriter" is the recommended setting to be used with all 

PostScript printers. 

To enable Autodetect Printer Type, log in to your print server’s Web 

interface and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | 

Macintosh | Auto Detect Printer Type | Yes. 

See the Help pages in the print server’s Web interface for details.

Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:

1. Select 

Chooser from the Apple menu. 

2. Click the 

LaserWriter icon.

3. If your network has more than one zone, click on the zone you want. (If your 

network does not have any zones, this box will not appear.)
