Configuring the Print Server
Print Server Installation Manual 5-5
5.3 Configuring the Print Server
After the print server installation, the print server can be
configured. This means that the print servername or the zone
might be changed, for example.
In pure Apple networks, the print server can be configured and
administrated via a text file. This is why in Apple networks every
print server additionally appears as virtual printer with a name
expanded by '_ADM.' A text file is sent to this virtual printer as a
print job. The print server analyses the text file and reads and
saves new parameter values. Afterwards, the print server is
restarted automatically. The text file will not be printed, however.
By means of the text file, all parameters which are contained in the
'parameters' file can be set. For more information, please read the
"Print Server Parameters" chapter in the user manual.
In Apple networks in which TCP/IP is used, it is advisable to save
the IP address on the print server by means of the text file and to
then use the print server homepage to configure the print server.
For more information, please read the "Print Server Homepage"
chapter in the user manual.
Creating the Text
File
The text file should be created using a rather simple Editor, such
as the "Notepad." The parameter name and its corresponding value
are shown in one line of the text file and are separated by an equals
sign. The spelling of the parameter name has to correspond to the
one in the 'parameters' file. No Apple-specific special characters or
equals signs are to be used for the parameter values.
