Customizing a
Printer Service
To change the AppleTalk configuration of your printer server,
use the OnPage utility. This utility is in a folder named
OnPage Extras and can be installed when the OnPage
driver is installed. The utility has the following functions:
Receive printer information
Retrieve the printers font list
Download a PostScript file
Download PostScript fonts to the printer
Rezone a printer on an AppleTalk network
Rename a printer
The instructions for these functions are contained in the
OnPage documentation which comes with the driver.
EtherTalk or
TokenTalk
Problems
If your Macintosh jobs will not print and an Out of memory
message is displayed on the Mac screen, an incorrect printer
type was selected under the Chooser menu. The
OnPage
or
LaserWriter printer type should be selected.
Installing a
Macintosh Printer
on Ethernet or
Token Ring
To install a Macintosh printer on your network, select
EtherTalk or TokenTalk from the Chooser, then set up the
printer.
Caution
If combinations of network interface cards are installed in the
printer, be aware that any changes to the printer name,
printer device type and zone name will propagate through all
AppleTalk capable cards (i.e., Ethernet, LocalTalk and
Token Ring). However, the change may not propagate to the
other installed XNICs until the printer is powered on.
