What You've Learned Mac OS X printing is based on the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). The primary utilities for configuring printing are Print & Fax preferences for configuring the print and fax services, and Printer Setup Utility for adding and deleting printers and managing print queues. You can share locally connected printers over a network by turning on Printer Sharing in the Services pane of Sharing preferences or in Print & Fax preferences. Shared printers can be used by Mac OS X 10.2 or later and Windows computers. Mac OS X includes a powerful printing architecture that allows you to print documents to a fax/modem. Mac OS X can also receive faxes and have them printed, stored as PDF files, or emailed.
