Setting Up Printing on Client Computers
Mac OS X Clients
Mac OS X users must add shared print queues to their Print Center printer lists before they
can use the queues. Mac OS X supports both AppleTalk and LPR printers. Users can also add
print queues in Open Directory domains accessible from the Mac OS X computer.
If a Mac OS X client is having trouble printing, see “Solving Problems” on page 334.
