About This Guide
Mac OS X Server includes print service based on four common protocols:
•
IPP—For printing from Macintosh, Windows, or UNIX computers. Requires CUPS.
•
LPR—For printing from UNIX computers and from Macintosh computers running
Mac OS 8.1 or later.
•
SMB/CIFS—For printing from Windows computers.
•
AppleTalk—For printing from Macintosh computer.
You can use the following Mac OS X Server applications to set up and manage print
services:
•
Server Admin.
Use Server Admin to turn on and configure individual file services for
each protocol
•
Workgroup Manager.
Use Workgroup Manager to create share points and set access
privileges
You can also perform most setup and management tasks by typing commands at a
command prompt in Terminal. For more information, see the print service chapter of
the command-line administration guide.

Because Apple frequently releases new versions and updates to its software,
images shown in this book may be different from what you see on your screen.
Using Onscreen Help
You can view instructions and other useful information from this and other documents
in the server suite by using onscreen help.
On a computer running Mac OS X Server, you can access onscreen help after opening
Workgroup Manager or Server Admin. From the Help menu, select one of the options:
•
Workgroup Manager Help
or
Server Admin Help
displays information about the
application.
•
Mac OS X Server Help
displays the main server help page, from which you can search
or browse for server information.
•
Documentation
takes you to www.apple.com/server/documentation, from which you
can download server documentation.
You can also access onscreen help from the Finder or other applications on a server or
on an administrator computer. (An administrator computer is a Mac OS X computer
with server administration software installed on it.) Use the Help menu to open Help
Viewer, and then choose Library > Mac OS X Server Help.
To see the latest server help topics, make sure the server or administrator computer is
connected to the Internet while you’re using Help Viewer. Help Viewer automatically
retrieves and caches the latest server help topics from the Internet. When not
connected to the Internet, Help Viewer displays cached help topics.
