Zero Configuration Printers in Terminal Room

2005-08-01 07:23:19
At IETF 63 in Paris, the helpful terminal room people are, as is 
customary, distributing sheets of paper with instructions saying how to 
set up printing on various different operating systems.

This quick email is just to point out that the Mac users here don't 
actually need to follow the printing instructions on that sheet. If 
you're using a Mac, you don't need to open System Preferences, or add, 
set up, or configure anything. When you plug your laptop into one of the 
Ethernet connections in the terminal room area and bring up the "Print" 
dialog box in any application, you'll see that the two HP printers are 
already there, as if by magic, in the "Printer" popup menu, under the 
"Bonjour" heading. They call themselves Term-01 and Term-02.

All network printers manufactured in the last year or two by HP, or 
pretty much any other printer maker, do this.

Windows users can get Bonjour for Windows from
