10.4: Print to AppleTalk networked StyleWriters
Authored by: katarchaea on Apr 09, '06 10:43:21AM

Hi - First I would try switching your AppleTalk zone. Go to "System Preferences" and click on the "Network" icon. From the "Show" drop-down, bring up "Built-in Ethernet", and click on the "AppleTalk" tab (in the middle). With a bit of luck you can simply change your AT zone to the "AppleTalk-326CostelloDrive" zone and install your printers as suggested by the original hint.

If that doesn't work, you could try guessing at the pap addresses manually, ie. adding a printer with

pap://AppleTalk-326CostelloDrive/Color%20StyleWriter%206500/ColorStyleWriter 6500

or perhaps

pap://AppleTalk-326CostelloDrive/Color%20StyleWriter%206500/ColorStyleWriter6000

I'm less certain where to start with the DeskWriter.

Lastly, you could try resetting your FastPath. There's some good information about it on the site below, including instructions on how to reset it. This would probably allow all your AT devices, LocalTalk and EtherTalk to operate on the same AT zone by default.

Good Luck!
