Notes

To open Printers and Faxes, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
The printer name can contain up to 32 characters. This name will appear in the title bar of the printer window. By default, it is the name that network users (except MS-DOS users) will see when they share the printer.
Select the Share this printer option during setup. In Share Name, specify the printer name that you want MS-DOS clients to see.
When you are selecting a destination, if the printing device is physically connected to the computer running Services for Macintosh, select the appropriate port.

If the printing device is on a network, click Add Port. In the Printer Ports dialog box, click AppleTalk Printing Devices, and then click OK. In the Available AppleTalk Printing Devices dialog box, select a zone and a printer, and then click OK.
Print Server for Macintosh is not available on the 64-bit versions of the Windows operating systems.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
