SUMMARY
This step-by-step article describes how to set up print services on your Windows 2000-based server. To enable users of client computers that are running non-Microsoft operating systems to print, the print server must have additional services installed. The additional print services are:
 * Print Services for Macintosh
 * Print Services for UNIX

To Set Up Print Services

 * 1) Log on as Administrator.
 * 2) Click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 3) Double-click Add/Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.
 * 4) In the Components list, click Other Network File and Print Services (but do not select or clear the check box), and then click Details.
 * 5) In the Other Network File and Print Services dialog box, click one or more of the following options:
 * 6) * Print Services for Macintosh: Enables Macintosh users to send jobs to a print spooler on the server that is running Windows 2000.

If you have not already installed the AppleTalk protocol, the protocol is installed automatically when you install Print Server for Macintosh.
 * 1) * Print Services for UNIX: Enables UNIX clients to print to any printer that is available to your computer.

Installing Print Services for UNIX automatically installs the LPR port and the TCP/IP Print Server service.
 * 1) Click OK.
 * 2) Click Next. The Windows Components Wizard displays the Configuring Components screen with a status bar to show the progress of the configuration.

Insert the Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive if you are prompted.
 * 1) When Setup is finished, the Completing the Windows Components Wizard screen appears. Click Finish.

Notes About Microsoft Print Services for UNIX
In UNIX, a program on one computer can use the line printer remote (LPR) service to send a document to a print spooler service on another computer. The receiving service is usually called a line printer daemon (LPD).

Print Services for UNIX provides both LPR and LPD services, which act independently on a Windows 2000-based print server.
 * LPDSVC on the print server receives documents from native LPR utilities that are running on UNIX client computers. By default, the LPD service is set to start manually. To have it start automatically, change the startup option for the TCP/IP Print Server service in Services.
 * LPRMON on the print server sends print jobs to native LPD processes on UNIX computers to which printers are attached. You need the Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM to install the LPR service.
