108 Chapter 7 Initial Server Setup
Setting Up Print Service
When you turn on print service, server users can share network PostScript printers or
Postscript and non-Postscript printers connected directly to the server.
When you turn on print service in Server Admin, a queue is set up for any USB printer
connected to the server. No printer queues are set up automatically for network
printers, but they are easy to add.
To set up a shared printer queue:
1 Open Server Admin.
2 In the list beneath the server of interest, click the button for print service.
3 If it is not running, click the Start Service button in the toolbar.
4 Click the Settings button at the bottom of the application window, then click the
Queues tab.
5 Click the Add (+) button.
6 Choose a connection protocol, identify a printer, then click OK.
Users of Mac OS X computers can now add the printer using Print Center. Mac OS 9
users add the printer using the Chooser.
For more information about setting up print services, see the print service
administration guide.
Setting Up Web Service
You can use the Apache HTTP Server that comes with Mac OS X Server to host server
and individual user websites.
If you turned on web service in Server Assistant, your server is ready to serve HTML
pages from the general server and individual user sites folders.
• To view the main server site, open a web browser on any computer with access to
the server and type the server’s IP address or domain name.
• To view a user site, add a slash (/), a tilde (~), and the user’s short name after the
server address. For example, type
http://192.268.2.1/~someuser
To turn on web service if it’s not running:
1 If you already have the HTML files for your main site, copy them into the Documents
folder in the /Library/WebServer/ directory. If the files that make up your site are
organized in folders, copy the entire folder structure to the Documents folder.
For a user site, the files go into the Sites folder in the user’s home directory.
If you don’t have your own HTML files yet, you can still turn on web service to see how
it works using the default start pages provided with Mac OS X Server.
2 Open Server Admin.
