A workaround for printing errors over AppleTalk
How do you set up a static IP address for a printer? I've got an HP4MP with an Ethernet card--currently using it on a Localtalk subnet via a Farallon iPrint Adaptor for my older Macs, but the wife's new iMac/10.2.5 can't see the HP at all (Appletalk active, changed Appletalk network no. to 42201 as the Farallon bridge requres). I downloaded the HP driver from HP, but (assuming it got installed), it didn't help. Does the Farallon (like the Asante) bridge also not talk IP? I could go direct via Ethernet, but it means stringing a long cable into the basement.
Availability of TCP/IP
Sorry, the Localtalk ports on these printers do not talk TCP/IP so you cannot set an IP address. Or maybe it has to do with the Localtalk Ethernet adapters. I don't remember. All that I know is that TCP/IP is not available from the Localtalk port using the Localtalk Ethernet adapters. |
