Install the Printer Software (Add a Printer) on Computer With Apple Macintosh X (10.5.x) OS to Print Using TCP/IP With the EFI Splash RPX-iii Color Server

NOTE: The Splash RPX-iii Server print driver uses an installer to install the driver files in the appropriate location.  After the installer is run, you may proceed with adding the printer.
