Silex 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. 

 
 
 
silex print server AppleTalk capabilities allow a printer to appear as a shareable printer node on an 
AppleTalk Phase 2 network.  The 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. 

 

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 SLXxxxxxx_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.
