Open Print Center app.

hold down the Option key and click "Add" button.

In the next pop-up box, you will see the usual drop-down menu. Click it.

You should see "Advanced" options at the bottom.

    Yup, thats pretty much what I was expecting to see, but its not there...on either Mac. I am logged on as Admin.



    Do you have to turn anything on? CLI?

    I've tried on more Macs (10.2.4) and none of them have this.



    Does AppleTalk need to be on or something?

    Well, I've looked at all of my Macs and none have this option. It must be activated somehow.



    More to the point, what is under this menu option?

    LPD/LPR means you can print via a unix machine setup to be a print server.
