About This Guide
Learn what’s new for Mac OS X Server Print Service
Administration.
Mac OS X Server version 10.4 allows you configure print service to access a printer on
the network or on its USB port, and share it as a queue or class (printer pool) to client
computers. This version of Print service offers a complete integration of CUPS
(Common UNIX Print System) offering more security, authentication, and error
feedback than in previous versions of the service. As a bonus administrators will benefit
by the complete adoption of CUPS and IPP for print sharing, allowing printer sharing
via IPP. Print service includes AppleTalk support and authenticated printing using IPP
and SMB/CIFS.
What’s New in Version 10.4
•
Complete CUPS integration with improved performance and reliability
•
Server managed cover sheet option
•
Queue sharing over IPP
•
Management of multiple printers through one queue
•
More visible CUPS log files
What’s in This Guide
Print service lets clients of the Mac OS X Server print documents in a flexible, managed
printing environment over a network. You can assign your client users specific printers
for their printing tasks and manage access to other printers through authentication or
user quotas. You can also manage printer use more effectively by balancing the load
across a pool of printers handling the same queue.
