Re: Laser JET over tcp/IP

The 6MP is appletalk ready, but lacks an ethernet port or USB port. Not sure if one of those parallel to USB cables would work. I have a few connected to my ethernet using HP Jet Direct print servers which work fine for all users. If the printer is already connected to the win2k server, as long as the win2k server can create an LPR print queue, you should be able to connect to it from a Mac without any problems. On and OS 9 and earlier machine use the Apple Desktop Printer Utility to create an LPR desktop printer icon. If it's OS X, just use Print Center and enter the IP address and queue name,...

Another option might be to get an ethernet to local talk adapter like the iPrint (Asante makes one too) and attach the printer to your ethernet. Apples should see it on the chooser or print center. However, this won't help windows users,...

Does anyone know, how to connect to an LaserJet 6MP.
Which is connected to an WIN2K server

Does either the printer or the server support LPR printing ?
That's the standard for network printers these days.

Okay, so standard rant on LPR: It's a dumb protocol utterly incapable of any
form of intelligent error reporting.

Win2K normally just sets up SMB print queues. Right now, the only way to
attach to these is with DAVE, from Thursby Systems. I *think* it will set up
LPR queues, but remember the caveat there. I don't think it will set up IPP
queues, and currently Mac OS X can't use them anyway. It will also set up
PAP queues, aka AppleTalk printing, and PAP is still one of the best printer
protocols ever created.

I have dave allready running, I know that they did support printer
connections on OS 9, but this feature is missing on osx.
It looks like that the only possibility is using appletalk.


But nevertheless thanks a lot!
