Connecting a printer

Your server has a printer port, which you use to connect a printer to your
server.

The printer port accepts either a direct cable connection (to printers such as
the StyleWriter II) or a network cable connection (to printers such as a
LaserWriter Pro or LaserWriter Select).

Follow the instructions that came with your printer when connecting it to
your server.

A printer can also be connected to the modem port.

Note: You use the Chooser program to indicate the port you used to connect
your printer. (For more information on using the Chooser and printing, see
“Choosing a Printer” in Chapter 1, “Configuring Your Server,” in the
Workgroup Server Administrator’s Guide and the “Printing and Fonts” topic in
Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

A GeoPort Telecom Adapter, or similar device, can also be connected to the
printer port.
