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.

  • My Bose Companion 5 speakers are not getting detected in mac pro. They are working fine with other machines (including mac).

    My bose companion 5 speakers are not getting detected on Mac Pro. They are working fine with other machines (including friend's mac)

    Same Issue here. I had a similar issue with my Bose USB speakers when I upgraded to Maverick. I've had the speakers since 2010 and had no issue with my 2006 Mac Pro or my iMac till the Maverick upgrade, contacted both Apple and Bose with no luck but an Apple update fixed the issue.
    I wonder if other USB speakers have an issue or is it just BOSE USB speakers. But my Companions did work fine with my Mac Pro and iMac 27 till the Yosemite update with an initial issue with the Maverick upgrade it was definitely an Apple issue not Bose. I have both Boise Airplay and Blue tooth speakers that seem OK it is only the USB Companions that don't work.
    Will look forward to a solution.

  • HT5103 how do i get the finial cut pro x trial to work

    i downloaded finial cut pro x trial from the apple website however it istnt working it keeps coming up with an error saying the following disc images could not be opened. finialcutprox10.0.6 legacy image should be converted
    please help i really need it

    There are 2 ways  .............   you buy a new Mac (or use a different one) and the trial will work for a further 30 days.
    This way you can keep using the trial forever, but it will cost you around £1000 every month to renew your computer.
    The other  way that is free  ............  at the end of each month you completely erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS and all the apps etc.

  • 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.
    Best regards

    Give this a try:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • I'm getting the apple and the loading sign

    I'm getting the apple and the loading sign
    I’m not sure what’s wrong with my Mac book Pro just yesterday it was working fine and then I tried to shut it down it wasn’t working it just freezed so I pushed the restart button and since then it’s not working all I get is the Apple and the loading sign and it’s been like that for a while, I have tried shutting it down from the button again and it still giving me the apple and the loading sign can anyone help me please
    Thanks

    Disconnect all devices from your MBP. Boot up from your Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard Install DVD *(you don't indicate which OS you are using)* while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

  • Is it possible to download fonts to Laserwriter Pro 600 from OS X?

    I have a LaserWriter Pro 600 that is still working remarkably well, using an Appletalk converter on my Network. In the past (OS 9 days), I used to be able to download PS fonts directly into the 8Mb of onboard memory in order to speed up printing when using fonts that are not built into the memory.
    Is this even possible with OS X, and how do you do it?

    Thanks, maybe I should have been more specific - I have a new MacBook Pro running Leopard, so Classic is out of the picture. I assume there's no way to do this without Classic?

  • My iMac doesn't start. Get the apple on the screen, nothing more happens. Any clues?

    Rebooted - get the apple on the screen - but nothing more happens. What to do?

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Is the Apple Mac Pro RAID card (v 2.0) compatible with the Mac Pro (v. 1.1)?

    Hello,
    Just wondering if any of you experts know if the Apple Mac Pro RAID card (v 2.0) is functional with the Mac Pro (v 1.1)?
    I have an original Mac Pro and a new (black) Mac Pro RAID card. I would like to know if I can get any functionality.
    I initially thought that the only difference was that the later RAID card did not have the same limitations on the HDs. I am aware that my original Mac Pro has a SATA II bus rather than a SATA III bus- but I am hoping this will not present any issues other than speed.
    I am currently using Disk Utility for a striped software RAID (0) but would like to move to a parity hardware RAID (5); hence the purchase. If this isn't possible I'm not overly concerned as I managed to get hold of the RAID card for next to nothing so thought I would take the chance.
    Any feedback would be appreciated as everything I've dug up online over the past few days has been a little inconclusive.
    Julius.

    The black-substrate card requires a 2009 or later model, and works only in slot 4, which has a special connector for it there.
    The blue-substrate card requires the ipass cable and connector feature in the 2008 and older models.
    These cards are both showing their age, and limit drive size to 2.2TB each. Their data-backup batteries have been extremely troublesome. You should probably look at other alternatives as well.

  • Getting an APPLE MAC PRO

    Hi, am living in india. I like to get an apple mac pro from applestore in tokyo,japan.
    I would like to know few things: whether an english version / US version keyboard will be available with them and also english version of operating system.
    Whether should i send the laptop to japan if i need to upgrade or claim any waranty or to repair something.
    Thanks in advance....

    This might get rid of it - as long as you are no longer using the hotel WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Laserwriter Pro 600 or laserwriter 300 personal

    I have a friend who just bought an intel iMac.
    she has 2 old printers, one is a Personal Laserwriter 300 the other is a
    Laserwriter Pro 600. she has lots of ink for the Pro.
    she also has an Asante'Talk adapter (is this called an ethernet bridge???)
    not sure , you plug the serial in one side then the ethernet cable comes out the other side.
    I plugged it in but then did not know where to go from there!!!
    Can anyone tell me if either of these will work or if I am barking up the wrong tree.
    thanks laura

    Ask your friend for more help with which printer was plugged in with the adapter.
    The Personal Laserwriter 300 is a serial-only QuickDraw printer. It is not supported directly by Mac OS X, even if you solve the cabling problems. there are third party drivers that can support it in a generic way.
    The LaserWriter Pro 600 is a Postscript level 2 printer, directly supported by Mac OS X LaserWriter driver. It has an Appletalk/LocalTalk Interface.
    The Asanté AsantéTalk is a converter or Bridge from AppleTalk-over-Ethernet to AppleTalk/Localtalk. It could work with the 600. But it is cranky about re-acquiring devices that have dropped out for any reason.
    Be sure AppleTalk is turned on in your Mac, in the Preferences > Network > Built-In (or other) Ethernet Pane, center button is AppleTalk.
    Make sure the Printer and everything is on and ready, then cycle off the power to the AsantéTalk and count to ten. Turn it back on and open the Preferences >Print & Fax > Set Up Printers > and choose AppleTalk as the method. You have no zones. Your printer should appear.
    Do you have all the cables, ending with a Mini DIN-8 (round) plug for the printer?
