Explanation (?): | The print server for Macintosh service allows a Windows server to mimic Macintosh printer shares. This lets Macintosh clients browse the server for printers from the chooser, and lets them print through it as it would a Macintosh server. If this service is disabled then Macintosh clients will not be able to browser or print through the Windows server. However, if you do not wish to use this service then it suggested that you uninstall this feature through the add/remove components dialog rather than disabling it. |
