Print Service 325
Windows Clients
To enable printing by Windows users who submit jobs using SMB, make sure Windows
services are running and that one or more print queues are available for SMB use. See
“Starting Windows Services” on page 240 and “Adding Printers” on page 320.
All Windows computers—including Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition
(ME), and Windows XP—support SMB for using printers on the network. Windows 2000 and
Windows NT also support LPR.
Note: Third-party LPR drivers are available for Windows computers that do not have built-in
LPR support.
If a Windows client is having trouble printing, see “Solving Problems” on page 334.
UNIX Clients
UNIX computers support LPR for connecting to networked printers without the installation
of additional software.
If a UNIX client is having trouble printing, see “Solving Problems” on page 334.
Managing Print Service
This section tells you how to perform day-to-day management tasks for print service once
you have it up and running.
Monitoring Print Service
Server Status lets you monitor all services on a Mac OS X server.
If you want to make changes to print service, use Server Settings.
To monitor print service:
1 In Server Status, locate the name of the server you want to monitor in the Devices & Services
list and select Print in the list of services under the server name.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.
2 Click the Overview tab to see if print service is running, the time it started if it is running, and
the number of queues.
3 Click the Logs tab to see print service logs for the system and for individual print queues.
Use the Show pop-up menu to choose which log to view.
4 Click Queues to see the status of print queues.
The table includes the name of the printer, type of print queue, number of jobs, sharing, and
status for each queue.
