Setting up and servicing printers

Setting up and servicing printers

Regardless of the architecture of your network, and the mix of workstations from other platforms, printing requires that somewhere across the network an accessible printer is cabled to a server or workstation. That connection is based on a particular type of communication channel, the pathway which dictates the signals used and the methods employed to control the transfer of print data to the printer. This topic discusses the primary communication channels in use, including serial and parallel connections, Novell Remote Printer connections, and AppleTalk connections.
