The print server supports the AppleTalk protocol running over
Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This capability allows
Macintosh computers to print jobs to a printer simultaneously with
jobs from Windows, UNIX, NetWare, and other computers.
Print server AppleTalk capabilities allow a printer to appear as a
shareable printer node on an AppleTalk Phase 2 network. The print
server broadcasts information to Macintoshes on the network, and
automatically appears in the Print Center or Chooser of each
Macintosh. Application programs (such as Microsoft Word, Excel,
PageMaker, etc.) can print without modification or special software
on the Macintosh.
