Chapter 2 Inside Mac OS X Server 41
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)
Mac OS X Server supports WebDAV Internet file sharing as part of the built-in Apache
web server and Mac OS X Server’s web services.
Originally designed for collaborative web publishing, this enhancement to the HTTP
protocol turns a website into a document database, enabling collaborative creation,
editing, and searching from remote locations. With WebDAV enabled, any authorized
WebDAV client, on any platform, can open files, make changes or additions, and save
those revisions back to the web server. And because it uses HTTP (port 80), WebDAV
can support file sharing through firewalls that don’t allow FTP sharing.
Print Service
Print service in Mac OS X Server lets you share network and direct-connect printers
among clients on your network. Print service also includes support for managing print
queues, monitoring print jobs, extensive logging, and using print quotas.
Print service lets you:
 Share network PostScript printers with Mac OS 9 (PAP, LaserWriter 8), Mac OS X (IPP,
IP/LPR), Windows (SMB/CIFS), and UNIX (IP/LPR) clients.
 Share PostScript and non-PostScript printers that are directly connected to Mac OS X
Server with Mac OS X version 10.2 and later clients.
 Share directly connected non-PostScript printers as generic PostScript printers over
LPR, SMB/CIFS, and AppleTalk.
 Connect to network printers using AppleTalk, LPR, and IPP, and connect to direct-
connect printers using USB.
 Make printers easy for users to discover using Open Directory.
 Impose per-user print quotas to limit printer usage; in addition, you can impose a
quota on individual printers.
 Set up printer pools for load balancing. A printer pool is a group of printers you
designate to handle print jobs submitted to two or more print queues. A job is
printed by the first available printer in the pool.
 Define cover pages for print jobs in a particular print queue.
The print service administration guide provides information about how to set up and
administer print service.
