3 Setting Up Printing for Clients

This chapter shows how to set up client computers to use

the printers offered by your print service.

The Mac OS X Server print service supports four basic classes of clients:

• Mac OS X clients

• Mac OS 9 and Mac OS 8 clients

• Windows clients

• UNIX clients

About PPD Files

A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file contains specialized information about a

particular printer model. Your users need the PPD file to take advantage of a printer’s

special features and capabilities. Without the right PPD, they won’t be able to do things

such as choose from multiple paper trays, use special paper sizes, or print on both sides

of the page.

Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server come with PPD files already installed for most popular

printers. (To see what’s available, open Printer Setup Utility, click Add, choose IP

Printing from the pop-up menu, and choose a vendor from the Printer Model pop-up

menu.) If you can’t find a PPD for the printer you want to use, contact the manufacturer

for a PPD installer for that particular model. As a last resort, try using the Generic PPD,

which should allow basic printing on most printers.

The proper PPD file must be chosen on the client computer when the print queue is

added.
