Hi all,
I have a Win 2003 server with file and print svc for Macintosh installed. I have an HP LaserJet 5MP connected to the LPT1 port. I cannot figure out how to get this printer to use AppleTalk. I've tried creating new port on the existing printer, and starting from scratch and selecting AppleTalk Printing Device as the port... all to no avail. I just keep getting the message that no AppleTalk devices can be located. What am I missing here? The HP has Postscript language, Level 2, built-in, so that shouldnąt be an issue.
The file sharing part works fine. My Mac is a Wallstreet running OS 9.2.2, but thatąs not even an issue yet, because I canąt get the LaserJet to magically turn into an AppleTalk print device!
Hi
Not much help here I'm afraid.
I only have NT4 but I will hook a printer up to it using Services for mac if no better answer comes your way.
Are you using the Laserwriter 8 extension or similar? Sorry this may not be helpful, my knowledge of printers is limited to the few I have.
In this case I can setup a printer server using Pcmaclan and ghostscript so I can use share the HP 850c Deskjet. I imagine any other would be the same under Win2k3.
If the HP 850 is something like what you have I will try to share it from the Alpha (x8 the HDD space and happily running SFM under NT4, thanks for the tip Gregg!) which still has the noisiest and largest cooling fan I have ever found. The one in the bathroom looks like it was made for the job. ;) with lights!!
Ghostscript is yet another way to share printers to the classic macOS and I imagine the new world MacOS? Who knows?
As you can share files I'd guess you are half way there.
