Configuring a Macintosh Client
Macintosh clients send print jobs over AppleTalk to a
Windows NT print server. To the Macintosh client, the
Windows NT computer 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.
