Old Laserwriters on High Sierra
I have HS Macs and several working older Laserwriters (Select 360, Pro 630, Personal 320) plus Farallon and Asante EtherNet bridges, and all the older AppleTalk/LocalTalk stuff. I'd like to get these printers working w/HS and would prefer not to have to run an old Mac on the network w/printer sharing to do it. I know AppleTalk support disappeared a while ago. If I connect the P320 thru the bridge to a HS Mac, it doesn't recognize it, haven't tried the others. I'm not sure if cups solutions would work with any of these printers and would need some step-by-step help w/Terminal if that's needed. It seems the problems are AWOL AppleTalk support, getting newer Macs & OSX to recognize these devices, wiring ports and drivers. I wonder if PPDs from Tiger could be put into the HS Library. Yes, the solution(s) for these particular printers may be different, if there is any.....
As an aside, I think going to cups printer software is inferior to the drivers HP long provided for its printers, eg, cups omits printer options and some control for a P4015.
