What does one ask eBay to look for if one should want one of these (for a HP)? I assume you mean a Ethernet-LocalTalk bridge, not a printer network interface card? You have anHP printer with no ethernet interface, just a LocalTalk network connection? This setup doesn't work with a purely serial printer. There are several different devices that will bridge between Ethernet and LocalTalk networks. The one that I have had experience of is the Dayna Mini EtherPrint. It works transparently. Just plug in an ethernet cable connected to your network and a LocalTalk cable connected to your printer. The printer appears in Chooser in Mac OS 9 or can be added using Print Center as a AppleTalk printer in Mac OS X. On eBay look under Macintosh for something like Etherprint or Ethernet-LocalTalk bridge. Hope this helps Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Printing from Wallstreet in Jaguar?
I got so far, have the stylewriter appear in the print center, but couldn't configure CUPS, in the browser link for some reason. I hope to try again, and shall keep in touch. 20/1/04 8:12 AM -0600 Andre Ruegg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone had success in using the method described at: regards, John -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I have been able to install the serial backdoor and a printer that is recognized by Jaguar but when I attempt to print, I just get gobbledygook. I was so hopeful when I first heard the printer fire up. :-( Andre *** Re: Peter J Pederson's question about printing to his Epson Stylus Color 600 via a serial port in Jaguar. I can't stress enough how I'm flying by the seat of my pants in this area, but here's what he needs to do, as I understand it: 1. Download and install Gimp-print and ESP GhostScript from here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 Gimp-print is an ongoing project to provide drivers for hundreds of unsupported printers (Peter's printer is one of them); ESPGS has something to do with PostScript interpretation, and apparently is essential. 2. Now the slightly tricky part. A kind soul has made the pre-compiled serial support for CUPS available for download here:http://homepage.mac.com/laurentvonallmen/FileSharing3.html. (Without this, you would have to download the source code for CUPS, compile it in gcc in Developer Tools, etc, so it's a HUGE help ). Download the CSW2400.tar.gz-link.gz file, which is actually a complete kit for getting a Stylewriter 2400 to work. Peter can ignore most everything in that folder except the serial file, which needs to be moved into this OS X directory: usr/libexec/cups/backend. I'm sure you have to be logged in as root to do this, unless you know how to do it in Terminal. The directions in the CSW2400 package probably have some useful info about this. 3. Once this file is where it belongs, restart the computer and open any web browser. Type in this URL: localhost:631 This opens the Web interface to CUPS, and it's just a matter of following the steps, starting with Add a Printer to choose the printer and the right port. Once done, the printer SHOULD appear in Print Center. *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I bought on eBay a LocalTalk network adapter for the Stylus Color 500 and a LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge box. This, plus the Epson standard network print driver, gave me a network printer accessible to all ethernet equipped Macs. Having said that, the speed of the SC850 was not stellar and it has now been consigned to the inkjet recycling centre in the sky, leaving me with the Epson network i/f and a spare LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge.
