Apple PowerBook Duo Dock (including Duo Dock Plus) - Manual (Page 28)

Connecting the Duo Dock directly to your printer
The Ethernet port is used most often to connect the dock to a network.
However, if you are using the dock and PowerBook Duo as a stand-alone
computer, you can use this port to create a direct, high-speed connection to a
printer that also has an Ethernet port (this creates a small Ethernet network
consisting of the workstation and printer).
1 Plug the short cable extending from an Apple Ethernet adapter into the Ethernet port on
the dock.
The Ethernet port is at the center of the connector panel on the back of
the dock.
2 Plug an Ethernet connector into the Ethernet port on your printer.
3 Connect the two Ethernet adapters with an Ethernet cable, as shown.
Checking your networking software
If you have the EtherTalk and networking software already installed on your
PowerBook Duo, you can select a network connection and begin using the
network. If you don’t have EtherTalk or networking software installed on your
PowerBook, you can install it using the Installer program on the system
software disks that came with your PowerBook Duo (or with a system
software upgrade kit that you purchased).
To check for networking software:
1 Insert the PowerBook Duo into the dock and turn on the PowerBook.
2 Choose Control Panels from the Apple ( K ) menu.
