If you want to attach a printer that’s connected to your TCP/IP network or learn about other 
Print Server options, see the Print Server section in AppleShare IP Help after you complete 
the instructions in this manual. 
The Print Server is now set up. Go to the next section for information on how to get client 
users ready to use AppleShare IP 6.0.
Getting Users Ready
Now that you’ve finished setting up your AppleShare IP 6.0 services, Apple strongly 
recommends that you upgrade your client Macintosh computers to Mac OS 8.1 or later and 
install the AppleShare Client 3.8 software. These upgrades are required for users to take full 
advantage of the features of AppleShare IP 6.0. At a minimum, client users need to have 
system software 7.6 or later and AppleShare Client 3.8 installed.
Note:  Windows clients do not need to do any additional installation or setup beyond what is 
described in “Setting Up Windows File Sharing for the First Time” on page 54. For 
descriptions of services available to Windows clients, see “Windows Client Services” on 
page 66.
Upgrading Mac OS Clients 
You can make the AppleShare Client 3.8 Installer available to the Macintosh client users via 
the Web & File Server. 
To upgrade the client software, follow these steps:
1
Make sure your client computers have system software 7.6 or later and Open Transport 1.1.2 
or later installed. If possible, install Mac OS 8.1 on all Mac OS client computers.
See an Apple-authorized dealer for information about purchasing this software, or visit The 
Apple Store Web site at 
http://store.apple.com 
2
Open the Web & File Admin program, if it’s not already open.
Open the AppleShare IP Manager and click the “Open Web & File Admin” button. Enter your 
name and password in the dialog box that appears, then click OK.
3
If the Web & File Server is not running, choose Start Web & File Server from the Server 
menu.
To see if the Web & File Server is running, check the Status area in the AppleShare IP 
Manager window. 
4
Make the AppleShare Client 3.8 folder a share point, and assign at least Read Only access 
privileges to the Everyone category.
