7.9 Rendezvous Configuration
The latest version of MAC OS provides a new feature that is called
Rendezvous
. Rendezvous is
a revolutionary networking technology standard that lets you create an instant network of
computers and devices, which can be used throughout Mac OS 10.2 to provide innovative ways
to share files and printers and even contact other people on the network.
Port Name
is the name of the printer port. Each printer port has to be assigned a name. The
client utility uses this name to access the printer port.
7.9.1 Rendezvous Uses in MAC OS 10.2
For the printer connection, the Mac OS 10.2 Print Center application uses Rendezvous to
discover Rendezvous-enabled printers on the network. When you add your computer to a
network, Print Center automatically discovers the available printers. All you have to do is
selecting the one you want to use and then start printing. You can add a new printer to the
network and all the users on the network will see the new printer automatically appear in their
Print Center, without any configuration.
The following instructions provide a common procedure of installing the printer:
1. Launch Print Center. Press and hold the Option key, click the
Add
button.
