Problem printing over a network
I have the following set up... 17² Powerbook running OS 10.3.4 Airport Extreme Lantech 8 port ethernet hub HP 4MP Laserjet (via a Farallon iPrint adaptor). If I plug the printer directly into the Airport base station via the LAN port, I can print. However if I connect the printer to the hub, I can¹t get the printer working. This is a guess, but is this because I have to have the base station connected to the hub via the base station¹s LAN port, not just the WAN port? I¹m out of cables at the moment so I¹m hoping that isn¹t the case. The WAN port incidentally is connected to the hub, which is in turn connected to a D-Link DSL-500 router. Any tips appreciated. Cheers..Steven
Re: Problem printing over a network
Steven I'm guessing that the iPrint is an Appletalk based device. If that is the case, the reason that you can't print is because the Airport doesn't route Appletalk - only IP. That is why it will work on the LAN port. This is because the Airport wireless network and the LAN port exist on the same Ethernet network (or broadcast domain if you like) and no routing occurs between them. The WAN port is not on the same Ethernet network - the Airport routes between the wireless network/LAN port and the WAN port and only IP. So, to fix the problem, either plug the printer into the LAN port as you know that works. OR Have a read on setting up an Airport network in MacHelp on your Mac or on the Apple web site. The recommended topology is to plug the WAN port directly into your ADSL modem. This creates a bit more of a firewall for your local network. Plug the LAN port into your hub or switch and share the connection through the hub/switch. You can then conveniently use the Airport as a DHCP server through the LAN port. And, your printer will work. There are some IP addressing issues to sort out but otherwise it is fairly simple.

Hmm. I use a nice HP JetDirect card in my HP4MP, and it works a treat. Admittedly, I don't print to it via OSX, but it should work fine. JetDirect cards aren't hard to come by on eBay. Just a thought. Of course, that's a suggestion for if your iPrint adapter turns out to be part of the problem - I'm not suggesting that you leap out to buy new hardware that may not help with your problem.

Re: lexmark laser printer
Dear Gary, I am using a Lexmark E220 which works well. I suspect it is postscipt, because sometimes the printing from emails is a little odd, which would have something to do with non postscript fonts, perhaps. cheers, Susan.

From http://www.laser-printer-reviews.com/laser-printer-reviews/lexmark-e321-laser-printer-review.html The Lexmark E321 laser printer offers reasonable value to smaller volume users and offers a nice upgrade path.

EyeTV programming - another lead
Hi All! Skimming around the web on my smoko (how unpolitically correct!) break, I found this: http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/view/FAQ/GettingGuideData Seems the Tivo guys here in Australia have found a way to program there imported tivos with Australian guide info. The software is written for Linux, so it may be little work to convert over for OS X. I guess the hard bit will be converting the slices into something readable for EyeTV (which can be programmed via Applescript). May be this could be the way to go, as the hard work of getting all the guide info is already done! Best of all, it includes the Foxtel channels for those who use Eyetv with Foxtel. Feasible?

The software doesn't need converting, you can just download the slice files. Of course, then (not having a TiVo) the software that needs writing is the GUI for selecting shows given slice files, and then programming the EyeTV accordingly. Feasible? Yes, given someone with enough enthusiasm.
