Appendix B
Sharing Your Printer Over an AppleTalk Network
B-1
If your Macintosh is connected to an AppleTalk network, you can share
your BJC-4550 printer with the other Macintosh users. The Macintosh
to which the printer is connected is called the print server while the
Macintosh computers that are connected to the print server through the
network (LocalTalk
®
or EtherTalk) are referred to as clients.
If you decide to designate your Macintosh as a print server, there are
certain parameters and procedures you must keep in mind so that your
BJC-4550 prints properly.
Before you decide to share your printer, make sure that the printer
is working properly as a stand-alone printer connected directly to
your Macintosh. You can check this by installing the printer driver
for local printing and then making test prints.
Make sure that the clients who want to use your printer are using
the same QuickDraw system (either QuickDraw or QuickDraw GX)
as the print server. Also, the fonts that a client wants to use for
printing must be in the system of the print server.
To allow other users to use your printer over a network, you must
set up your Macintosh computer as a print server while the other
users must set up their Macintosh computers as clients by
installing the appropriate server or client printer drivers and any
other related software. Also, make sure that the BJ StatusMonitor,
which allows QuickDraw users to check and change the status of
print jobs, is installed. The BJ StatusMonitor is for use with
QuickDraw only and not QuickDraw GX (QuickDraw GX already
has its own print monitor software built in).
