Machines running the Macintosh OS on your LAN can print on a PostScript

printer attached to the Wireless Gateway. When such machines request

information about network printers using the AppleTalk protocol, the Wireless

Gateway will respond with the information shown in the Print Server panel.

This information must be correct for successful printing.

The Zone Name is a text string identifying a group of devices using

AppleTalk on a LAN. These devices can be concentrated in one area or

scattered throughout the network. Ordinarily an asterisk [*] initially appears in

the Zone Name box; this can represent “the local zone” (whatever its name

might be), or it can mean that no zones are configured. If AppleTalk zones are

configured on the network, click in the Zone Name box and type the name of

the zone you want the printer to belong to.

Chooser Name is the name the Wireless Gateway will use for the printer

when reporting its presence to machines running the Macintosh OS. The

Wireless Gateway will construct a default name from the name given to the

broadband router in basic setup, but you can change it to any text string you

like.

The Printer Type is a text string that tells the Macintosh which driver to use

for the printer. For a PostScript printer this should almost always be

LaserWriter. This is the default value.

The PostScript Level can be 1 or 2. Unless the printer is a very old model, a

setting of Level 2 should work best.

The Font Group setting tells the Macintosh how many PostScript fonts the

printer has built in. All but the oldest PostScript printers can safely be assumed

to have the “Standard 35” PostScript fonts.

Save/Cancel

After making sure all settings in the Print Server panel are correct, click Save

to store the settings in the Wireless Gateway's non-volatile memory. You can,

alternatively, click Cancel (or simply exit the panel) to restore all settings in

the panel to the values last saved to or retrieved from the Wireless Gateway.
