Q: Custom communications settings for an Apple LaserWriter
I have an Apple LaserWriter 16/600 up and running on Mac OS 10.4.11 and I want to set some custom communications settings by using the configuration switch on the back. (The switch is currently in the down position for standard settings.)
I have the Apple Printer Utility-PPC from OS 9 and I have Classic open but No luck getting things to work.
What more do I need to do?
Any suggestions?

You do not want to specify the 8500 PPD.
The 8500 has paper options sizes, and rotations that your 16/600 does not support. The PPD that is installed automatically is the one to use. AppleTalk-over-Ethernet works great in OS 9, and if that is what you need, there is no need for LPR/LPD or any other protocols.
