Setting Up a System Access Printer
If the printer you want to use doesn’t support desktop printing software, you can make the
printer available as a system access printer. The system access printer becomes the default
printer for the selected workgroup.
Users who can see the Chooser can select any printer visible to them. When the user logs out
of a client computer, the printer originally chosen by the administrator as the system access
printer becomes the default printer again.
Note: You cannot use both regular desktop printers and a system access printer.
To set up a system access printer:
1 Create one or more computer lists containing client computers on which you plan to use
system access printers.
2 For each workgroup you want to use a system access printer, make sure that workgroup has
access to the computers in the list or lists you created.
3 Log in to a client computer using the System Access workgroup.
You see the System Access workgroup only if you are a Macintosh Manager administrator or if
“User has System Access” is enabled for your account.
4 Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
5 Select and set up a printer, then choose Quit from the File menu and log out.
6 Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each client computer where users need access to a system
access printer.
7 From the server or an administrator computer, open Macintosh Manager.
8 Click Workgroups, then click Printers.
9 Select a workgroup that has access to the computers you set up in the previous steps.
10 Select “Members use printer selected in System Access.”
11 Click Save.
If you specify that a workgroup should use the system access printer, but do not select a
printer from a client computer, users who log in to that computer will not be able to print
unless they have access to the Chooser.
Using Options Settings
Options settings are used to set up a group documents folder, create a login message for
workgroups, set startup and login events, and allow users in Panels or Restricted Finder
workgroups to eject CDs.
