Axis 1440/Epson740 and Classic
This looks very promising. I have been using an Axis 1440 and an Epson 740 this way in OS9 (there is an AppleTalk driver for the 740 on Epson's website), and I have been frustrated to not be able to do it in OSX. Unfortunately the OSX driver for the 740 does not support this connection via Epson AppleTalk as in Anonymous's hint. But.....today I have found out how to make it work in Classic. Previously, if I have opened the Chooser in Classic, there are no options in the right hand box whenever I select the 740(AT) driver, nor for the LaserWriter 8, nor for the AppleShare icon, or my old fave, Broadcast. It dawned on me today why, and when I looked at the AppleTalk control panel I found the connect via pop-up set to Built-in Ethernet. Now I use an iBook with an AirPort card - which is why I want to be able to see this printer on the network; I can print anywhere around the house. There is no option named 'AirPort' anymore, but there is a new one called 'Ethernet Slot 1' so I switched the AppleTalk connection to this, and all my AT devices and volumes now show up in the Classic Chooser. Why they renamed it I can't imagine. Anyway, I can print wirelessly to the 740 now from Classic, and also from X if I use the workaround of saving a print preview as a PDF and then printing it from a classic app like Acrobat Reader 4.
Axis 540+/ESP 1200 and Classic or X
I am one of the disaffected owners of the Epson Stylus Photo 1200 without a viable driver for OS X. I have a 450 Mhz iMac DV+, with OS X 10.1.3, and an Axis 540+ print server, which supports Appletalk. I have set the printer name to "EPSONLQ2" in the print server software, and have updated the Axis firmware to its latest version, 6.0. |
