Ok I want to get my LaserWriter pro 630 to work with either my Beige G3 and/or my ibook 700 under osx.
I have a USB to parallel adapter widget, and a still unhooked up linksys
router...and Mac serial port on the beige too.
So I am looking for some suggestions of how to get this thing hooked up in
any capacity...i had found the whole printer setup under OS X to be slightly
ugly....all I want to do is print out shipping labels with swordfish...
OS X won't access a printer through it's Parallel port, nor through its LocalTalk port.
you need to hook the printer up through it's Ethernet port to your network - it doesn't have an RJ45 port that's common now, though. in 1993, 10baseT ethernet wasn't a clear winner, so Apple used the AAUI port. you need to buy a 10baseT AAUI transceiver, which will turn the AAUI port into an RJ45 for 10baseT Ethernet. Then, hook it either into the computer's individual ethernet ports, or into a network with your linksys router.
