Print to old LocalTalk LaserWriters
Authored by: lorien on Nov 18, '04 06:17:03AM

You can easily print with you MacOSX mac directly to a lokal talk laser writer with an USB to parallel cable. An old MacOS9 in between is not necessary. Go to sites:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20021119060952977&query=laserwriter
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/pslevel1/
and download:
• pslevel1-foomatic-1.1.ppc.dmg
• espgs-7.05.5-0.ppc.dmg
Install these on your computer. Then, go to Print Center, hold down the ALT key and double click on "Add". A menu appears: choose in top list "Advanced". Choose for Device "Unknown". In Device Name type a name for your printer. In Printer Model choose Apple or any other brand. A pull downmenu appears. Choose your printer from the list and click "Add". Your printer is added to the Printer List. Choose it, and start your printing jobs.
