2003 / IP Printing advice please

« on: July 29, 2003, 11:46:49 AM »

Your second article had some relevant info but unless I'm missing something major Kinko's doesn't support IP printing.

Turns out it's not IP printing at all, it's good old AppleTalk.

1) Turn on AppleTalk in Network Prefpanel/Ethernet port.
2) Open Print Center in Applications/Utilities
3) Select toolbar icon "Add"
4) Select "Appletalk" from dropdown menu
5) Select "Local AppleTalk zone" in "AppleTalk network" dropdown menu

And there you see a list of printers. Whether the printer's AppleTalk ID is understandable seems to depend on the configuration, I found the one I wanted by sheer cussed experimentation. But at another Kinko's the printer names matched the machine model. So go figure.

Nope, I turned on BSD in Directory Access and and rebooted then reconfigured Print Center without any difference.

Any more ideas?

I'm trying to print to a printer at Kinko's with an IP address such as 10.22.35.115 and I'm connected to the internet through DHCP. The PPD file IS installed.

But Print Center doesn't seem to communicate with a printer, upon rebooting the first message I get is:
"Unable to create temporary file: No such file or directory".

Subsequent retries simply puts the file in the local queue.

Using Network Utility should I be able to ping the printer IP? B ecause I can ping the router OK. I'm afraid I don't know much about this and the Kinko's people know even less.

Thanks for any advice.

I liked some of the Widgets, but some features were apparently turned off. So I payed for it and it is registered. But the features were not on even then.
I'm disappointed and want my 25$ back.
