Suggestions LaserWriter Pro 630 in OSX
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 uglyall 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. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Suggestions LaserWriter Pro 630 in OSX
I managed to get my Laserwriter Pro 630 to work with my BW in Jaguar by using a USB-to-parallel cable and doing the following in Print Center: Option-click Add. Select Advanced from the drop-down list. Choose IEEE 1284 Controller from the Device menu. Select Printer Model. Add. HTH. Heok Hee -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pismo Printing Problem
Up until a couple of days ago, I had no problems printing from my Pismo to the USB printer on my G4 desktop system. Between the time I last successfully printed from the Pismo and the failure to print, I installed Acrobat 6.0 and updated iTunes to 4.01. Anyone else run into printer problems after installing either of these? TIA Joe Ellis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Reluctant featurectomies are performed to satisfy some external constraint such as code size or execution speed. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If so, did you develop any printing problems? I'm still not sure which caused me lose printing but it had to be one or the other since I did nothing else.
