Setting Up AppleShare IP 61
Setting Up the Print Server for the First Time
The Print Server lets you set up queues. A queue contains a list of print jobs that are being
stored on the Print Server. The queue also attaches printers to those jobs and sends the jobs
through one at a time. If you set up queues for printing, users can continue to work while
they are waiting for a document to print. If you attach multiple printers to a queue, several
documents can print at the same time on different printers, which reduces the wait time for
printing.
You need to create at least one print queue with one printer attached before you can use the
Print Server. This section describes setting up an AppleTalk printer queue. For instructions on
connecting a printer over TCP/IP, see the Print Server section of AppleShare IP Help after you
complete the remaining instructions in this manual.
To create a queue and attach a printer, follow these steps:
1 Make sure that any printers you’d like to attach to your print queue are connected to the
network and turned on.
To check if a printer is connected correctly over AppleTalk, see if it is visible in the Chooser.
2 Click Print Admin in the AppleShare IP Manager window.
Enter your name and password, then click OK.
The Print Server Activity window appears.
3 If the Print Server is not already running, choose Start Print Server from the Server menu.
The Server Status in the activity window shows Running.
