SuperScript 1800 — Network User’s Guide
Configuring a Macintosh Client
Macintosh clients send print jobs over AppleTalk to a
NetWare print server. To the Macintosh client, the NetWare
print server looks like any other AppleTalk device in a zone.
Software Requirements
For Macintosh computers to connect to the printer, they must
meet three software requirements:
•
The operating system must be Mac OS 7.1 or higher.
•
The standard Macintosh
LaserWriter8
printer driver must
be installed.
•
The
NEC SuperScript 1800 PPD
must be installed.
Printer Hardware Requirements
Since Macintosh computers send their print jobs in the
PostScript language, the SuperScript 1800
must
be upgraded
with the PostScript Level 2 Upgrade Kit
(Order No. 1802).
Installing the Software
Software installation involves installing the LaserWriter
printer driver and SuperScript 1800 PPD.
