| + | ===Printing over AppleTalk=== |
| + | <pre> |
| + | I have a Nextstation hooked into the school network here, and I would |
| + | REALLY like to print to the local LaserWriter NTR. |
| + | CAPer shows it, and I can print up the test page, but I can't print |
| + | anything from Edit.app(no printer selected), and PrintManager.app is |
| + | clueless. |
| + | |
| + | What I would like is to print from the "Print..." menu over the |
| + | Ethernet/appletalk to the printer. |
| + | |
| + | Is this even possible? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | ---- |
| + | |
| + | If CAPer can show it in the network chooser and print to it (guess you used |
| + | the top 'test' button which performs a direct PAP connection and pumps over |
| + | the testpage) everything should be set up to print from any app. Just follow |
| + | the instructions (It is in the CAPer README in the Info menu): |
| + | |
| + | 1. Create a new 'dummy' printer using /NextApps/PrintManager.app, call it |
| + | what you want, select the correct PPD and set it to use the serial interface |
| + | (CAPer will change this, it is only for setup) |
| + | |
| + | 2. Start CAPer, start the Appletalk services, wait to establish network, open |
| + | the Network Chooser, select the printer entity in your zone. A panel opens, |
| + | on the top you will see the name of the printer entity at the bottom you will |
| + | see the in 1. created printer name (Under Local Printers). |
| + | |
| + | 3. You now have to connect the 'Entity' to you 'Queue', select the in 1. |
| + | created printer name, press the 'connect' button to connect it. Press the |
| + | lower 'test' button (the one under the connect button) to test your queue |
| + | setup. If a testpage comes out everything should be fine. |
| + | |
| + | 4. If you queue 'hangs' for some reason, do a 'lpc restart YOUR_QUEUENAME' |
| + | (where YOUR_QUEUENAME is your name from 1.) as root in a shell. |
