I wish SMC would document this...
I agree... I posted this hint. SMC tech support had told me that the Print server did not support CUPS, only Linux!
SMC Barricade Part Number 750.5435
Note that if you have rev 1.41.004 of the Barricade firmware, you must set the queue name to "LPT1", not "lp". If you try to set the queue to "lp", print jobs are stopped midway through the print process.

YES! this was the tip I needed! thank you!!!
LPT1 was the trick!
I replaced my failed 7008BR with a 7004ABR, and it is running firmware 1.42.003. The trick with this unit is also to use the Win-oriented terminology LPT1. And I think that much of this is now documented on the SMC site.

FYI, LPT1 is case-sensitive .. lpt1 will work, while LPT1 will not.

I am not having much luck with this. I followed the instructions found here using both lp and lpt1 as the print cue and using the "Epson Stylus Color, CUPS+GIMP-Print v.4.25" driver. When I try to print, I get a message, showing "Printing 0,28%" etc., up to 100%, followed by "Connecting to 192.168.1.1 on port 631" followed by "network host 192.168.1.1 is busy". (192.168.1.1 is the IP address I use for the SMC 7004AWBR router to which the Epson 740 is attached by a parallel printer cable)

I was able to print via an SMC router/print server under Jaguar. When I upgraded to Panther, this feature broke.

PROBLEM SOLVED! The problem turned out to be a Panther bug. The Fix is posted here: http://www.allosx.com/1067395661/index_html

I read the whole thread, researched a lot in the Net but still can't print :o(. I'm trying an HP OfficeJet 725. |
