Attempting to connect a Apple Laserwriter 4/600 to a MacPro.

Hello.
I have recently obtained an AsantéTalk to help me connect my Apple Laserwriter 4/600PS to my MacPro which is presently running on OSX10.6.8.
Everything is correctly wired and connected but nothing seems to print. I have used both red and blue ethernet cables.
Please can anyone shed some light on the matter to get things printing please?

Support for AppleTalk-over-Ethernet to get to the AsanteTalk was dropped in a previous version of Mac OS X. 10.6 is "too new".
I use an old PowerBook G3 running 10.4 as to "Share" that Printer and a few others to the rest of the Network, and mine keep working. I think you can use a 10.5 computer as well, and just "Share" the printer(s) on it, which makes them appear as available on your network.

Getting the Apple LaserWriter Pro 600/630 to work on 64 Bit Machines

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post a success story of mine as I was attempting to get an Apple LaserWriter Pro 600/630 printer to work on my 64 Bit Vista machine.
I read on a few posts, namely from this topic, that you could trick windows into thinking that your apple printer was actually an HP Laserwriter III printer (or in my case, a LaserJet rather than LaserWriter), although almost every topic on that subject referenced a website containing the drivers, which has been down for nearly four years. This is the most recent copy I could find of that website discussing the issue I, and several other users, was experiencing.
In short, whatever computer is physically connected to your apple printer (note that this can work for networked setups), you need to select a Laserwriter III PostScript Cartridge v52.2 driver. In my case, I didn't have that driver, although I got away with installing the printer as an HP LaserJet IIIP PostScript Cartridge v52.2.
The test page just finished printing off, and everything seems to be working fine!
I really hope this benefits someone.

Make sure you compile as a 32 bit app.

Can't print from my Apple Laserwriter 16/600 PS

Hello,
I have an Apple Laserwriter 16/600 PS that I used to be able to print documents to from my Mac G4 OS 10.2.8 via a network connection with my Mac 9600/OS 8 as a shared printer. It was an easy solution to the cabling issues between laserwriters of that vintage and G4s and USB ports. But this was not a good option after I upgraded my G4 to OS 10.4.8.
So now I have connected this printer to my G4/OS 10.4.8 using a Keyspan USB parallel printer adapter. I am networked using built-in Ethernet; connect to my ISP via TCP/IP using DHCP that automatically assigns an IP address to my computer and router. I have AppleTalk set to active and configured automatically. I do notice that I have no AppleTalk zones that I can use. So I'm not sure what use this is.
I set up the printer on my G4 with the Printer Setup Utility using Line Printer Daemon - LPD protocol. I used the same IP address as my computer, gave it a name and location and selected the model Apple Laserwriter 16/600 PS v2014.106 to print from the menu list in the utility.
I can see the printer using Apple System Profiler under Hardware/Printers/Queue Name. I can see the printer in my applications' page setup dialog. But I cannot print anything. (At one point during my hours of effort, and with another setup configuration, when I viewed the job printing from the setup utility, it said the job was printing, but it just ran and ran. Now it simply says "no job printing.")
I repaired permissions, used MacJanitor and restarted everything. Still no luck. The cable is plugged in properly as far as I can tell.
Questions:
1. Have I assigned the incorrect IP address to the printer (it is the same as my ISP assigned IP address for my computer? If so what should I assign as an IP address?
2. Do I need to download an Apple Laserwriter 16/600 print driver or some other software to make the computer and printer agree with each other?
3. Should I be using another protocol in the Printer Setup Utility? IPP and HP Jet Direct - Socket are the other protocols available in this utility. Once again, what is the correct IP address to use for a connected printer?
4. Why are there no AppleTalk zones available even though I have made AppleTalk active?
5. I do have access to OS Classic and the old printer utility, but how do I utilize that to make this printer work on OS 10.4.8?
I am sure there must be a solution and I have spent a long time Googling and searching. If someone could walk me through a solution or point to an article or download that would help, I would be so appreciative.
Thanks for any help on this.

Shelley,
The adapter is just that. It changes one plug at one end to a standard RJ 45 phone style socket on the other end. Plug in the <---> plug into the <---> socket on the back of the printer. The box end of the transceiver has a standard socket for the usual phone style plug.
"Do the transceiver (that I am assuming has the aaui adapter plug on it) and the RJ45 ethernet plug come as separate items that I then string together with the cat 5 cable? "
They can come as a box with two sockets and one short adapter cable or a box with one RJ 45 socket and one short cable permenantly attached that has the <---> plug for the printer.
"Or are these three items available as a unit that I can just order, ready to go (i.e. plug into the printer and connect to the computer.)?"
I have not seen one that was long enough to eliminate the need for the cat 5 ethernet cable. The length of cable needed varies so widely that manufacturers just make the adapter, you choose the length of cable.
Ethernet does not split like phone splitters. Hubs were designed for that task. Your router acts as a spliter/hub PLUS routing duties so go ahead and use it for its intended purpose. The uplink port on the router goes to the link with another network so save that port for your DSL modem.
Wikipedia offers a little background reading here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch
Not to be outdone, Yahoo has a site:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070331094643AAcs2Rs
So, to recap, you do not need a separate ethernet hub - good guess, they do exist. A switch is a fast HUB - oversimplified explanation - and is not needed in your situation. Your router has a hub plus an uplink port for linking to another router connected to another Local Area Network.
Think of a router this way. My son has LAN parties with ten or more computers in one room connected to the internet. Without a router, the internet company would see ten computers and send him a bill for ten internet connections. At AOL rates, that would be $220 or more a month. Ouch! A router takes those ten computers and reduces the network signals into one so he only gets a bill for one $22/month connection. Much nicer for a student's budget.
Hope this helps.

Apple Laserwriter 4/600 Won't Print using Lion 10.7.4

Yesterday I bought a new MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 and discovered I cannot print to my Laserwriter 4/600 using Asantetalk connected to ethernet (which is connected via a router to my AirPort Extreme (round, white circa 2005).
If I use one of my older MacBooks to share the printer with my new one, then it prints fine, no problem at all. It's direct printing that's the problem.
I also did NOT have a problem setting up my MBP (OS 10.5.8) to print from the LW when I got it in 2008.
What I've done is:
- Go to Sys. Prefs > Print & Scan > + printer in Printers list, select "IP". At that point I have tried ALL of the options, IPP, LPD and HP, which I detail below. With each one I have tried, I have had to manually Select Printer Software. When I select Apple Laserwriter 4/600, I have had to also manually give it a Name in order for me to Add the printer.
At that point, here's what happens when I try IPP:
- I get the message 'Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to connect to " due to an error. Would you like to create the queue?' I select Continue.
- It then says it's setting up the printer, and "Make sure your printer's options are accurately shown here so you can take full advantage of them." Memory Configuration: I select 6 MB, then the OK button.
- Then it says it's setting up the printer.
- I then try to print.
- I open up the printer monitor, it acts like it's going to print, but then Pauses. My document stays in the queue, and when I try to Resume Printer, it acts like it's going to print again, but then get a message something like "The printer's URI is incorrect or no longer exists." The it pauses it again. I try again. Pause. and it will just keep doing this and never print.
Keep in mind, after I try each method and it doesn't work, I delete both the print job and the printer from the list.
So I delete the printer, try adding a new one with LPD:
- It doesn't give me a message that it's unable to verify the printer on my network, which seems good, but then when I try to print, it says it's copying print data, it's connected to the printer, and then it pauses. I keep trying, but it keeps pausing it.
When I try the HP, like the IPP it tells me it's unable to verify the printer on my network. I Continue anyway, it acts as if it's setting it up, but nothing happens, so I hit the "Configure" button. I then select my memory configuration. It seems to take, so I try to print. It acts like it's processing the job, but then says the printer is busy.
I went to this page:
I hope I have given enough information about my ystem and printer. I have scoured these forums and Google, and cannot find a solution to my problem that works. I am hoping I don't have to print only using a shared printer because that is a bit of a hassle since I don't plan on always having an older MBP running as a server.
Thanks.

Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS with Win 7 (64bit): Looking for driver software

Hello,
can anybody tell me where to find the driver software for the Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS connected to my Windows PC running Windows 7 (64Bit). With Win XP there was no problem at all, the printer got connected via plug and play, whereas with Win 7 I can't get it to work.
If there is no original WIN7 compatible driver version available, is there any other printer driver that could be used instead.
Any help is very much appreciated.

How to hook up a Laserwriter 16/600 so it works with computers running Mac OS 10.6 or greater.

I am using a MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz. I am using an Apple 1Tb Time Capsule as my source for the internet and "router" (I don't know if I'm using the terminology correctly, so if you need clarification, ask away). I have that Time Capsule connected to my Laserwriter 16/600 (32 meg ram) via an eternet cable from an Ethernet port on the Time Capsule to an Apple Twisted Pair Transceiver Model No M0437 on the 16/600 printer. Is this an acceptable AAIU Transceiver?
I can print to the Laserwriter 16/600 with any machine that has OS 10.5 or less because they have Appletalk. If I have greater than OS 10.5 those machines do not recognize the Laserwriter 16/600. I can set it up as described in other posts telling me to us IP printing and the printer's IP address, and it refuses to connect. When a print order is given, It just searches for the printer continually and finally gives up saying it cannot connect. I know the IP address of the printer, 198.162.1.6 in this case because I have a machine that runs OS 9 and can use the old Apple Printer Utility to discern such essential details. I can change the IP address to anything I want and have done so. Nothing works.
Let me say, as well, that I can print with the Mac OS 10.6 printer as long as I use Bonjour, but that necessitates having a computer with 10.5 or less act as the "bridge" between the two. I'm already doing that with success, but it gets wearisome having to make sure both computers are up, running and not asleep. I want to print from the 10.6 or greater computer whether others are running or not.
I can do all the above, entering in the correct IP address and it still will NOT connect with the printer via this current hook up. I can even hard wire to the Apple Twisted Pair Transceiver Model No. M0437 using an Ethernet cable hard wired between the Transceiver and the MacBook running OS 10.6 completely omitting any wireless connection and NOTHING connects.
What am I doing wrong?
Please don't give me "theory" (what should work) because I've tried it all and it doesn't. Tell me only if you have a similar set up, running OS 10.6 or greater and have had consistent success printing to a Laserwriter 16/600. I realize that the problem is that Apple ceased supporting AppleTalk with systems greater than OS 10.5, which made all this work so seamlessly. Thank you Apple for that omission!
Will a parallel Port to USB adapter work in this case? The 16/600 has an unused, capped parallel port. Will it work for Mac OS 10.6 or greater, or is it only operational with Windows computers? Is there some magic patch or driver that's needed for one to work on a Mac or is it plug and play? People say they will, but I've heard that they won't work with this Mac configuration. Again, don't give me theory. Some speak so glibly about getting one and then of course "with USB all problems are solved." Others say they don't work.
Informed suggestions are eagerly awaited.

Novice or not, you've signed yourself up to set up an IP network.
The answer you seek — what address to assign to the printer — is dependent on knowing what the configuration of the DHCP address pool is. If the stuff is in the 10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.254 range, then you're likely in the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet, which means you can assign an address to that printer in that range that is not configured in the DHCP pool.
You're probably using the Airport as the DHCP server, so use Airport Utility (Applications > Utilities) to have a look around for the DHCP server settings within that device. If the DHCP server is enabled, you'll almost certainly find a range of addresses that the DHCP server can pass out. (Other devices can also potentially be a DHCP server for your network, such as your cable or DSL box. You'll usually only want one DHCP server, but I don't know what device is providing that service is on your network.)
If you're not sure what box is the DHCP server, the IP address can be available from a couple of Terminal.app command (launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities), ifconfig and ipconfig, as shown with some (partial) response data:
ifconfig -l
lo0 gif0 stf0 en0 p2p0
That's a lowercase dash-ell, BTW. Look for the en device in the list that gets returned. en0 from the above list is used in the following command:
ipconfig getpacket en0
server_identifier (ip): 10.4.4.1
If you see a couple of en devices, try both.
The server identifier is the DHCP server IP address. That's the address of the box on your network that's passing out IP addresses — the address is 10.4.4.1 in the example shown. What that particular network box is (on your network) I don't know.
As it can both help answer your question and help improve the documentation, please let me know what parts of what I've written both here and over in the article might be confusing to you.

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?

O.K. Grant,
I was just in OS 9, opened the Chooser, selected Laserwriter 8 icon, and it found my Laserwriter 16/600 (which i have hooked up). And choosing Setup>Auto Select, it found the "Laserwriter 16/600 PS" PPD.
I've been trying to download, install and understand this Laserwriter 8.5 thing but, looking in my Extensions>Printer Descriptions folder, I see this "LaserWriter 8500 PPD v1.2" is already there. And I can use Chooser>Setup>SelectPPD to redo my Laserwriter using that PPD.
So, some of my confusion may be cleared up but, this is probably more than I needed to figure out.
Thanks

Try "resetting" your Apple ID password > Apple - My Apple

Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on. I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change. Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again. Same action over and over.
I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete. Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
Device is frozen in this display loop. Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
* power off your phone.
* Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes. You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
*Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

It turned out that WD is the big bad guy in this game.
According the data rescue company where I asked for an inspection, both of the drives had their reader head loose. And in the one, which was my already-in-use disk its even damaged the platters... xxxxx
So its time to pay bunch of money to recover, and take a walk to wd service to bang on the desk.
Also note - it may be somehow related to intellispeed technology - since macs not really friendly with wd-s built-in solutions.
On the other hand, with WD GP 1Tb there is no problems at all for ages.

Laserwriter 16/600 connection with parallel to USB adapter

I have a mac mini and and the great ole workhorse Apple laswerwriter 16/600 PS printer. I bought a parallel to USB adapter cable but have been unable to get it to work.
Also the ethernet connector on the printer is a very small type connector unlike the current ethernet type ports. Would I be better off trying to find this type of an adapter?
I have spent hours searching and can't believe I am the first one to ask this question.
Thanks All!

The Ethernet connection supports Ethernet communication via an AUI-15 connection, when used with an external AAUI-to-twisted pair (RJ-45) transceiver. It is located between the LocalTalk (MiniDIN8) and Fax (RJ-11 4-pin modular jack) ports. Its Icon resembles:

To use it, you need only purchase a transceiver, available for US$5 to 10 at eBay or used computer dealers.

Can't find Laserwriter 4/600 on network from Intel Mac mini

Problem: Cannot find/print to networked LaserWriter using Airport network.
Kit: Mac mini 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 MB running Mac OS 10.4.5; Silver Apple Airport Base Station unExtreme; Netgear 814 combined switch/router/DSL modem; Asanté LocalTalk-to-Ethernet Adaptor; Apple LaserWriter 4/600PS.
Method: Airport bridges from wireless (Mac mini) side of network to wired (LaserWriter) side via hub/router.
This setup worked perfectly for many years but did not survive the encounter with Intel Mac mini.
Resolution attempted: Carried out detailed instructions involving switching devices off and on in strict order, using Printer Setup Utility etc.
These instructions are posted on Asanté website:
http://www.asante.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3164
Getting this to work requires that the Ethernet connection be switched from AirPort to Built-in Ethernet and that the computer be physically connected to the hub by an ethernet cable. The unwanted effect of this is that it denies wireless access to network/internet services formerly enjoyed by Mac & PC computers.
Running the identical Asanté routine with AirPort rather than Built-in Ethernet as the connection method results in the loss of the LaserWriter to the network.
Any ideas?

You can rest assured that printing to a AppleTalk
printer through wireless network is way down on the
list of things that is ever going to be tested in the
labs.
Point taken. I'm just curious about what might be going on.
Since I can't test here - the only thing I can do is
think of possible differences between your two
networks (wired and wireless)
I'm not an expert but as I understand it the Intel Mac mini should "see" the network as a single contiguous entity. In other words the AirPort Base Station that bridges between the wireless and the wired parts of the network should be entirely transparent, so I think the answer to your next question is yes.
Is your network flat (sameIP address range and routes
wireless as wired)? I could see issues if there were
a firewall or you had separate networks set up (you
can have different networks that talk to each other
through gateways and routing - but things like
Bonjour/Rendezvous and if my rusty memory is to be
trusted - Appletalk too - depends on things being in
the same "network" for broadcast packets to get to
everyone.)
Again, I don't know if it proves anything but when I had another computer on network here, the IP address assigned to it by the router was within the specified range. This machine is getting on for three whole years old, has begun to self-destruct and so it's gone for repair under the last gasp of its AppleCare warranty extension.
The Intel Mac mini can also "see"/print to a Bonjour wireless printer. This may also answer your question about the possibility there being two networks here rather than one. On the other hand, I guess that the ability to print to the Bonjour device does not involve any bridging between the wireless and wired parts of the network, so this may not be relevant.
If the concept of different networks does not make
sense - open up the Network Utility application and
post the results of your "Display routing table
information" from the netstat section...
Finally, here's what Network Utility, Netstat comes up with:
Routing tables

LaserWriter Pro 600

My LaserWriter Pro 600 will not talk through my Ethernet connection to my iMac G4, Please Help!
I have an iMac with an 800 MHz Power PC G4 Processor
using Mac OS 10.4.5I also have a LaserWriter Pro 600 v2010.130 which I brought from the office where I had a G3 Mac using System 9.2, and I was using a LaserWriter 8 Driver (from the Chooser).
I would like to use the LaserWrier on the iMac, and I have done the following:
Connected the Appletalk cable (9 pin) from the LaserWriter to an Asante Talk connector box; then the Ethernet cable from Asante to my iMac Ethernet port.
From the Finder: Go>Utilities>Printer Setup Utility, where I filled in the following: NOTE: Icon at the top said ‘IP Printer’
Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD (Selected Option)
Name: LaserWriter Pro 600 v2010.130
Location: Macintosh HD
Queue Name: LaserWriter Pro 600 v2010.130 (Automatic fill)
Host Name: ????
Print Using: Apple
Driver Version: 10.4 (these last 2 are from the printer’s Get Info)
PPD File Version: 4.1 (I did not fill in these values)
Now I have read the LaserWriter 4/600 problem posed by Andre Blaize on
3/20/06 and the various answers through Grant Bennet. I have tried
everything suggested, but I still can’t get anything to print. He had a
different LaserWriter and was using Mac OS 10.4.3, and he got it all to work,
so I was hoping the same could happen to my situation.
Help!

Grant, thanks for the references, but they don't work...
"1. Open Print Center (/Applications/Utilities/). The Printer List window appears. If you want to delete a job, choose Show Queue from the Printers menu..."
I can't open Print Center. It's an application and double-clicking it yields nothing. However, I can delete a printer by using Printer Setup Utility. When I open it there's a list of my printers. I select one and click on DELETE...gone. Then I click on ADD and set up a new printer as I did before.
However, I have now concluded that the LaserWriter Pro 600 v2010.130 does not work with an iMac G4 running OS 10.4.5 utilizing the Asante Talk box.
So I am going to take the LaserWriter back to the office and use it with my Macintosh G3 (SCSI).
Thanks again, Warren

IMac receives message "Cannot connect to Apple TV" - Apple TV can see iTunes library and can mirror with iPhone.

Hi all.
I have an iMac (mid 2011) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and an apple TV that my little brother just gave me (I believe it's 3rd gen from serial #).
I can successfully mirror my iPhone 4S with AirPlay, and the Apple TV can see the iTunes lib from my iMac, but when I attempt to connect to the Apple TV from the icon in the tool bar it gives me the message "Could not connect to Apple TV."
Spent some time on the phone with a really super tech, he had me go through the paces with restarting the router, the apple TV, my iMac, checked all the network config etc - no dice.
I even reinstalled OS X.... still no dice.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
The second tech who called me back thought it might be hardware related. I brought this iMac in for a new hard drive less than a year ago after it randomly began throwing kernel panics and finally it just wouldn't boot. I don't do very much with my computer so it's kind of odd that it would have these issues unless there is something fundamentally wrong with the way it was put together. It doesn't take any abuse - not like my macbook!
Thanks in advance.

Had my iMac taken in - RAM replaced & video card replaced. Able to mirror in the store. Restored my iMac with time machine backup and restored apple TV. Still getting the same message. Could it be some network setting I'm overlooking? I tried it while the apple TV was connected via ethernet as well - no dice.

Apple LaserWriter Select 360 and OSX 5.1.2 upgrade

My LaserWriter 360 has performed perfectly from Tiger to Leopard 5.1. After upgrading to 5.1.2 it would NOT print. The LaserWriter is connected to the computer with a Ethernet cable into an Asante box,and then into the printer. This has never failed for over 6 years and since OS X came out. The Apple LaserWriter 360 driver DOES exist in print driver lists in the Library. I Archived and Installed back to the OSX 5.1 version hoping that might fix my problem but it did not.
I have gone into "Network" and "Printer Fax" — tried everything with no success. I hate to part with this printer as it performs great when it was working before the 5.1.2 upgrade. Any suggestions?

Help! Apple advised me that there are very smart people here, smarter than they, who might be able to help me. I'm having the same problem getting my MacBook OS 10.5 to work (at all) with my Laserwriter Select 360. It is not supported (7 years) by Apple. It worked wirelessly when I first set up borrowing the driver from my Ibook. My household uses 3 ibooks with great success including the one I hoped to replace with my MacBook. After 5 months, and trying various solutions posted here, by some fluke it printed once yesterday.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a driver that will work wirelessly with my airport? Apple said I have a Guttenberg (?) default in the OS software, which is not visible in the printer library, but can only be plugged directly into the MacBook via an adapter. This would mean the rest of the Mac users in my home (Ibooks) would not have access to that port and I want to be wireless. I've read many happy reports here and hope someone very wise can help me. Apple says this printer never worked wirelessly. Somehow I completed all of my graduate education using it wirelessly so I have hope that someone here can help. I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate the time you've taken to read this request. Best wishes to all! Kim
