can i use the ethernet port on imac to hook up a laserjest 4 printer

Got it working like a champ.

Thank you very much.

I have four Laser Jet 4 work horses. Three of them are on my wireless router - this one is a stand alone computer down in my shop to do research or parts, etc.

Using Guntenprint drivers and they print great.

Again, thank you for your assistance.

I use Gutenprint which works great for older printers.

I will be gone today but, I will describe the problem in more detail.

First - when I add a printer I use the IP address assigned to the Jetdirect card.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have two JetDirect cards IP address on one is 10.5.1.53

The other is 192.168.2.1

I put these in the IP boxes when adding a printer. When I try to print nothing happens at the printer. On the the iMac it says waiting for printer.

Where do I find that - did not know it had an IP address. Think you just solved the problem.

There was no IP address - I put 10.5.1.53 to match the JetDirect and that did not work.
