Appletalk & Snow Leopard

yes, you can do a full system restore from TM. this will wipe your hard drive and restore your entire system from the TM backup. to do this, boot from the leoprd install DVD and choose "restore system from backup" from the Utilities menu at the top.

I had been using the TCPquantum hack to get my SE/30 running System 7.5.5 to network just fine with Tiger and Leopard Macs:

I don't have Snow Leopard, but it appears that the TCPquantum hack doesn't work anymore to solve the problem on Snow Leopard. Excluding FTP, is there no alternative way to allow System 7.5.x, OS 8.x or OS 9.x Macs to network with Snow Leopard machines?

Well I have the same problem and I dont want to dump my perfect working LaserWriter4/600. So I re-activated my beautiful museum Powerbook Pismo which has 10.4 installed and connected my AsanteTalk box to the Powerbook. MBP, Powerbook and Asante were connected with ethernet via an Ethernet Hub. I activated the printer sharing on the Pismo and voila I could print from Snow Leopard to my Apple Talk Laserwriter !

Well I have the same problem, and I don’t want to dump my perfectly working LaserWriter Select 360.

I was using this printer on my network via a Farallon EtherMac iPrint Adapter. This allowed me to use Localtalk (AppleTalk).

Since Snow Leopard does not support AppleTalk and my printer (which does an excellent job printing) has both serial and parallel ports, I purchased a USB to Parallel (Centronics CN36 Male / IEEE1284) cable and now can print using one of the USB ports on my Mac Pro. Hope this helps.

You may have discovered this. But if you have not please see the link below. I hope this helps.

"AppleTalk note: If your printer can only use the AppleTalk protocol, the printer must be connected to, and then shared by, an appropriate AppleTalk-capable printer server. Snow Leopard can then use that print share to print via a supported IP-based protocol. See the "How to add a printer" section of this article for details about how to connect to a shared printer to your Snow Leopard system."

Hello,

I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard, I used to be able to print from my MacBook Pro via a Netgear Router to a Brother HL-1470N printer. Because Snow Leopard has gotten rid of AppleTalk, I'm no longer able to print wirelessly, which is kind of a necessity.
I've tried various blogs on how to install printers on Snow Leopard but to no avail.
Can anyone help please?

Thanks

oh wow, we have a $15,000 RIP negative/film printer and we connect via AppleTalk. It's old and there is no support for IP printing that I've ever seen. This is not good.

You could always use IP printing. Find the IP of the printer and re-add the printer using LPD protocol.

Can someone help??
I have a great Apple laserwriter 4/600PS pinter. I have it hard lined into my G% via an Asantetalk to NetGear hub to my G5 CPU. I USED to be have the ability to print wireless from my Macbook Air with Leopard . Know I upgraded to Snow and cannot unless I have my G5 desktop on. Is there anyway around this???? Please This reallllly ***** and apple needs to do something about this

Boo Apple on this one,

I also use the AppleTalk protocol. They should at least allow it as an optional install.

I too lost the functionality I needed at home and at work.

We have a PantherPlus 36 and use AppleTalk to it via Panther RIP. Fortunately, it supports Hot Folders so we have to change our workflow for the few users with SL.
