Milind, The 3550 switches do not support AppleTalk, which explains why your printer doesn't work when you disable bridging. Have you tried enabling TCP/IP printing on the printer?
If you're running an older MacOS, TCP/IP printing may not be available to you. I'm not intimately familiar with MacOS, nor did you indicate which version of Mac OS you are using, but OSX supports both AppleTalk and TCP/IP. If your clients are not OSX you can configure an OSX print server (spooler) that prints to the printer using TCP/IP but advertises the printer to the local VLAN using AppleTalk. I've assumed that since you're running Macs that you probably have access to an OSX server. If not, you can accomplish the same thing using Linux, Windows or Netware. - Tom milind tare wrote: > Dear All, > > > I have following setup in my company > > 2 Core 6506 Redundancy > > 3500 series distribution and access switches. > > configured 20 vlan's in my network and having 130 > switches. configured bridging in my network. but now i > remove netbios from user's PC. > > And in my network i hv Network printer which is > running on MAC. if i remove bridging from my network > it will affect on network printer. i mean network > printer will not work if i remove bridging. > > can anyone give me solution on this. coz i want to > remove bridging from the network. > > Thanks & Regards, > Milind Tare > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > SBC Yahoo!
