Hi there,
Just to let you know that the OpenPrinting database can be
updated. I am using the apple laserwriter 4/600 ps and it works
perfectly!
How?
The laserwriter 4/600 ps has a localtalk connector and I print to
it from a suse 7.2 installation on a plain pc. Between the pc and
the printer there is an AsanteTalk box which bridges plain ethernet
and etherTalk (over localtalk).
pc eth0 ------ AsanteTalk ------ laserwriter 4/600 PS
On the linux pc I've made an entry under /var/spool called
laserwriter4600ps under /var/spool/laserwriter4600ps:
- I've created a file called .paprc containing: (without the ---)
---
BDG's LaserWriter 4/600 PS:LaserWriter
---
my /etc/printcap file contains:
###
lp|Link42 LaserWriter|BDG's LaserWriter 4/600 PS:\
:sd=/usr/spool/laserwriter4600ps:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:pl#63:pw#85:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:sf:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:if=/etc/atalk/filters/ifpaprev:\
:of=/etc/atalk/filters/ofpap:\
:tf=/etc/atalk/filters/tfpaprev:
###
You need the following rpm's (or newer versions) to get it
working, it might also work with earlier versions, file
locations may be different between versions...
netatalk-1.4.99-40
