How to set up HPLJ4M through AsanteTalk bridge?

I have a Titanium PB G4 running OS X 10.3.9, a USB inkjet printer that works fine and is the only printer currently in my printer list, and an old LaserJet 4M (Postscript Level II, AppleTalk) that I've never used with the Powerbook. I bought an AsanteTalk bridge for it a couple of years ago, but hardware problems with the printer (now solved — I can print to it from an old Mac clone running OS 8.6 via serial printer cable) prevented me from trying to set up the connection through the bridge to my Powerbook. Now I'm trying to do so, and getting nowhere. The AsanteTalk instructions aren't helpful at all (they're for an iMac running OS 8 or 9), and I can't find a straightforward, step-by step set of instructions anywhere else. If anyone can walk me through this I'll be very grateful. I'm a networking and Unix know-nothing, so keep it simple. I'll try below to provide information about my present setup. It's perfectly possible I've made dunderheaded mistakes, and if so, please say so.
The Tibook is happily connected to the Internet via Airport, wireless router, and cable modem, but not connected at all to any local wired network, so its Ethernet port is available for exclusive use by the bridge and Laserjet.
The Tibook is auto-sensing, so I'm using the Cat 5 patch cable that came with the AsanteTalk, not a crossover cable.
I've connected the two cables (Enet and printer), turned on the printer, powered up the AsanteTalk, and restarted the Powerbook. I have power and link lights on the Asantetalk. Its Tx and Rx lights both flicker for a few seconds after the bridge is powered up, then they go off and stay off.
In System Prefs>Network>Built-in Ethernet: TCP/IP is Off. Appletalk is On and set to Configure: Automatically. The pull-down Appletalk Zone menu is blank and inactive (greyed out); I can't select anything in it. In the Ethernet tab, I have an Ethernet ID shown (but I don't know whether it's the Powerbook's or the AsanteTalk's), and ethernet is also set to Configure: Automatically.
In Printer Setup Utility, I click Add and am immediately lost. I have no clue what I should select in either of the top two pull-down menus. At the bottom of the Add window, I can select my printer model as "HP LaserJet 4/4M PostScript 600dpi" or as HP LaserJet 4 Series, CUPS & Gimp-Print v. 4.2.5", but I don't know which to choose, and nothing changes regardless of which I do choose. The "Printer Address" and "Queue Name" fields are both blank, and the scroll arrows to the right of each are inactive. I'm at a dead end. Please help.

Yes, I paid about $1900 for the LJ4M when it was new and still the latest thing, with no idea what a classic I was buying. It's a tank — the folks at www.fixyourownprinter.com regard it as one of the best-built printers ever made. I had to buy a $45 repair kit to get it printing again after its two-year layoff, and now it looks like I need to replace a roller that's developed a flat spot so it will feed paper cleanly. But if I'd spent the same $120 instead on a cheap, modern laser printer, I'd have doubled or tripled my consumables cost, and then I would have had to throw the thing away when it broke, instead of being able to buy parts and fix it myself for years to come. I'm glad I stuck with the old horse and got it running again.

    AirPort Utility is the application that must be used to setup and make any configuration changes to the AirPort Express. I'm not aware of an "App" for this.
    If you could borrow a computer from someone there for 30 minutes or maybe use the computer in the lobby, you could download AirPort Utility and reconfigure your Express. To help with setup, use an ethernet cable from the computer to the Express to help AirPort Utility "see" the Express.

  • ERPI: how to set up drill through from Planning to EBS

    Hi,
    When you guys know how to set up drill through from Planning to EBS through ERPI ??
    I encountered the following message when I tried to drill :
    no drill through reports found at this location
    I think I didn't set up the drill through functionality properly.
    Regards,
    Eddy

    Can you check the log file for any errors? Also, check if the drill regions are created in the application. You can navigate to process details in ERPI and select the show log link for the corresponding process id. That should indicate if the drill regions were created on the target.
    Thanks,

  • ATG 10.1.2 . How to set BCC password through CIM?

    I'm new to 10.1.2 version, trying to installing and configure it properly to learn it. With CIM I configured and set Publishing, Production and Staging instances.
    I ran BCC after installation (http://localhost:8180/atg/bcc) and was prompted for password - admin/admin or merchandising/merchandising set by default in previous ATG versions didn't work in 10.1.
    I learned from ATGInstallGuide that there is no default passwords preset in 10.1.2 and I have to set them though CIM. (Or ACC)
    Here what is says:
    *"Through CIM. During the post-installation setup process, CIM prompts you to set the passwords for the*
    *default profiles that your environment requires "*
    I do remember I was once asked one for password for merchandising user only, and the password I set didn't allow me into BCC, so probably it was for something else.
    Please, advise how to set BCC passwords for default account (admin, merchandising and etc) in CIM? I don't see this option in CIM - I everything in CIM and didn't find it
    Just in case there is the list of options CIM provides me after running:
    [1] Database Configuration - Done
    [2] Server Instance Configuration - Done
    [3] Application Assembly & Deployment - Done
    [P] Product Selection - Done (Oracle ATG Commerce Reference Store &
    ATG-Endeca Integration & ATG Site Administration)
    [A] Select Application Server - Done (JBoss)
    *[C] Custom CIM Plugin Launcher
    I'm still not able to open BCC application

    CIM will ask for new passwords when you select Create Schema and Import data. If you have forgotten the pwd given by you, you can reset it.

  • How to set FTP parameters through Module Processor?

    Hi
    We read parameters set in the communication channel of an adapter through method getSupplementalData("module.parameters") of com.sap.aii.af.mp.module.ModuleData.
    I have following question regarding reading/writing configuration data, set in communication channel for a File adapter:
    1) How can I read the FTP Connection Parameters in a module of a module processor?
    2) Is it possible to update FTP parameters at Module Processor level for Receiver Adapter?
    3) If update of parameters through Module Processor is not possible, then is there some other way I can set the FTP parameters?
    Regards
    Vijendra

    HI Vijendra,
    Check out this -

    https://media.sdn.sap.com/SDNTV/main.asp?mediaId=130
    <i>2) Is it possible to update FTP parameters at Module Processor level for Receiver Adapter?</i>
    You can not dynamically determine the FTP server etc. In the Receiver Adapter, Module is called first, then control is given XI Adapter to output the file into FileSystems. You can modify the Payload.

  • How to set Header variables through Jsp

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me with the code.
    I need to send user id in http header variable from jsp to a third party tool, which will read user id from the http header.
    i am tryng to test if ui can set the variable using th efollowing code
    <%response.addHeader("REMOTE_USER" ,"user1"); %>
    and to get that i am using response.getHeader("REMOTE_USER");
    The header variable is not set.
    can you let me know if is possible , can we set user defined header variables??
    Any help will be highly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    If you'd like to send some additional headers from your jsp it would make sense to add it to your request than the response. Unfortunately, neither a servlet or jsp is allowed to modify the request object. You would need to write a filter to achieve this.
    See the below url for more information on creating filters.

  • How to set the value to non enabled UDF fields

    Dear All,
    I created a UDF at titile level of PO and that UDF item always disabled (i.e oItem.Enabled=false). Now how can set a value through coding.
    I wrote like this:
    oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetFormByTypeAndCount(-142, 1);
                                oItem = oForm.Items.Item("U_Poap");
                                if (oItem.Enabled == false) { oItem.Enabled = true; }

    But system throws an error at : oItem.Enabled=true statement.
    How to solve issue.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    You can set the values using datasource object
    oDBs_Head = objForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("@TableName")
    oDBs_Head.SetValue("U_FieldName", 0, "Value")

    Power on the Time Capsule for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button firmly with a ball point pen or something similar for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> Ethernet ports on the back of the Uverse router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
    On your Mac, open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Other WiFi Devices tab
    Click on the Time Capsule
    The setup utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the connections then suggest a setup on a screen that looks like this:
    Type in a simple name that you want to use for the Wireless Network Name
    Type in a name that you want to use for the Time Capsule device
    Type in a password
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    The utility will set everything up for you in a minute or two. When you see the message of Setup Complete on the screen, click Done
    You can now log onto the wireless network that you created by selecting the name and entering the password
    Post back on your progress and we will next get backups going again

    I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account.  It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me.  I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod.  I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up.  thanks for asking.
