Print via the SMC Barricade print server
Authored by: imaharaj on Jun 06, '04 09:39:30PM

So close, but yet so far... I am running OS 10.2.8. I have a new HP Laserjet 1012 which works correctly when hooked up directly to my eMac. I have tried to hook it up thru the USB port on my SMC Barricade. When I add the printer under the IP printer section, put in the URL of the Barricade as the printer address and name the printer as lpt1, it can find it, but I get several pages that are blank and tsxt that is not formatted. I can not get graphics. I assume this is because the printer is specified as 'generic'. My printer does not appear in the list, yet I know the driver exists on the computer because I installed it from the CD and it works when directly connected. I tried using the CUPS admin link to 'modify' the printer and re-install its driver, but when I try to modify the selected printer, it wants me to sign in as someone and enter a password. I have tried ADMIN and HPADMIN and my own name and password, but nothing works. HELP!
