Stopping, starting, pausing, and resuming services

When you set up Services for Macintosh, two services are automatically started: File Server for Macintosh and Print Server for Macintosh. (The AppleTalk Protocol is also started.) At times, you might need to stop these services, as shown in the following table:

Service Stop the service to

Print Server for Macintosh (MacPrint)

Install another printer driver, to configure a printer, or to immediately see the result of deleting, creating, or changing a printer.

Stop it to remove the Print Server for Macintosh service.

File Server For Macintosh (MacFile)

Change the server name that Macintosh users will see or to remove File Server for Macintosh.

Pause it when you want to make changes to the server attributes but want to allow current users to continue working. If this service is paused, no new Macintosh users can log on to the computer running Services for Macintosh.

AppleTalk Protocol

Change router parameters and the default networking zone and to remove AppleTalk Protocol (which automatically stops File Server for Macintosh and Print Server for Macintosh).

Note

  • Print Server for Macintosh is not available on the 64-bit versions of the Windows operating systems.
