Leopard - M.I.A. Printers on Wireless IP and Flashpaper?
Hi folks,
The only main glitch so far with my upgrade from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.2 is my printer situation. Before, my system saw my printer on the wireless router system by default (a Xerox 6200DP) and its IP address. Now, I'm having as much trouble finding my printer as I do with my Windows Laptop, where the dynamic IP causes me to lose the printer upon reboot.
However, I am able to find my Xerox using Appletalk and local network. The IP of the printer is now assigned, apparently, by my Mac instead of my wireless router (the printer had an IP of 192.168.1..1xx but now is a 169.254.xx IP). And the printer is not seen in my Wireless DHCP clients panel.
I think the printer is too old to use Rendezvous.. but it was so easy before... I'm curious as to what has happened. I reinstalled printer drivers, but it didn't help. I'm still using it through appletalk.
The other problem is that while Adobe CS3 works just fine, I seemed to have lost my Flashpaper ability. I was able to reinstall my PPDs from my Previous system folder, but while the printer says it is printing the docs, they are no where to be found. They should print to the desktop.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff
