Q: Laaserwriter, Snow Leopard and Server
Need help getting Apple Laserwriter 630 Pro to work with Snow Leopard.
Printer port is Apple Ethernet connector then to Fallon 10-T tranceiver to Ethernet cable to HP Jetdiret 175X (J6035A) printer server to USB to MacPro USB port.
HP does refer to a disk for the server, but the only software I see on their site is for PCs. Idid have this workig on an HP printer to an earlier Mac under an earlier OS.
Specs for server indicates AppleTalk compatible. HP Jetdirect-Socket shows up under IP in Add Printer preference. Host name or IP address is asked for. I don’t know what to use if any.
After a long wait, I can bring up the printer in “Print Using”, but the “Add” button is grayed out. Can anyone provide any help to get the printer working?
