In Windows 95 you can use the Apple Printer Utility with NetWare configurations only. If you do not have NetWare you can use the Apple Printer Utility on the parallel port from a Windows 3.1 system.
When you run the Apple Printer Utility, the parallel option will either be greyed out or missing. This is normal, as the Network option is for using the utility through a NetWare connection.
Note: Newer versions of the Apple Printer Utility for Windows remove the parallel option instead of greying it out.
