I also have a LaserWriter 16/600, similar to the 630..... I have it hooked up via ethernet to my Airport Express, and print to it from any wired or wireless computer in the house via IP. However, you may need a OS 9 machine to set the IP address if you don't already know it. There are some terminal commands to find/reset the IP but I don't know them.... It's still supported by Apple at least as far as printer drivers, so when adding a new printer you can find it and set the options like RAM and page trays. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
