I have been using system 6 for a while, but have never really set up networked printers in it before.
I now have my mac plus on my home ethernet network. On this network is an HP laserjet 4+ with jet direct card. I have been attempting for a while to get my mac plus configured to use the printer. So far, I have activated Ethertalk on the mac, and gotten it to communicate on my tcp/ip network. TCP/IP stuff all works. On the printer, I turned on its ethertalk interface. Then on the macintosh I opened the choose, and looke for it in the "laser writer" section. That's the closest match on my chooser. It wasn't there. I tried the other printer drivers. The drivers I have are the ones that come with system 6.0.8. Is there an HP specific driver I need to get? If so, where can I get it? Did I miss a step somewhere? Any advice would be most appreciated. Right now all I can do to print is print as a postscript file, and ftp the file to my linux machine and print from there. I'd really like to get the mac talking directly to the printer!
