Hi all, I've just bought a Laserjet 5M printer. As you'll know, this has an ethernet port and PostScript, and its specs say that it is Mac-ready.
I'm trying to set this printer up so that I can print to it from two S900s. Both are running OS9.2.2, but there's no difference if I fall back to 8.5. I've set Appletalk to Ethernet output, and file sharing between both machines works perfectly well. But no matter what I try, I cannot get the printer to appear in the Chooser when I click on the Laserwriter 8 icon in the left pane. It appears that the printer is being seen over the network; if I set the network address to 0 in Appletalk to match that given in the printer's configuration printout I'm told that that address is already in use by another device in the network. TCP/IP is shown as "Disabled". I've tried the printer plugged directly into the S900's Ethernet port as well as into the hub, no difference. I can't help feeling that there's something I've missed, but what? Can anyone help, please? -- Cheers, Derryck -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
