Print to a Brother HL-1430 via a Linksys print server
Authored by: fizzysteve on Mar 24, '05 06:36:13PM

Hello Toivo,

You've just saved me $80 :-) I was going to buy a Mac-compatible print server until I saw your post.

I'm a Mac Mini newbie and I spent a couple of hours this morning trying to get it to print to an HP Laser Jet 1300 that is networked using the Linksys PSUS4.

It worked fine when directly connected via USB, but I could NOT get it to work on the network. I could ping the print server, but when I printed I got an error message "remote host did not accept data file (32)".

I was missing the "lp" in the queue field. It nows works beautifully.

Thanks very much.

FizzySteve

Also, thanks from me for the tip. I managed to get my Samsung ML-1210 to function as a network printer for all three macs on my home netwwork via the Linksys Print Server PSUS4, after a rather amusing discussion with the Linksys tech support woman, who was totally clueless. It was all in the "lp" in the print queue field...

Thanks!

Yes, that's a very important point about typing "lp" into the queue name field. If you forget to do that, the "LPD/LPR" setting is useless.

I successfully used the original tip, dated 21 Oct 2004, to set up OSX with a networked LaserJet 1200 using a LinkSys PSUS4. Now everyone is happy that they can finally print from the laser printer. :-D
