SE/30 as print server for Tiger Network

Is it possible to use an SE/30 running 7.5.3 to act as a print server on a Tiger network?
SE/30 has an ethernet card installed. Network involves a Linksys WRT54G. AppleTalk is on, because I print to a LaserWriter 4/600.
The reason for asking, is that the Assante EtherTalk box is troublesome. (Altho' it's about 6 years old.) When there is a power interruption, it is very uncertain whether I can see the LaserWriter again.
By using the SE/30, I could connect the LW to it with the simple LocalTalk connection, and bypass the Assante stuntbox.
Help would be most welcome.

File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008

Hi Expert,
I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box. Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32". I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
Best Wishes,

Do any experts know the reason of this problem? Thanks!

File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is missing

I have a Server 2012 Hyper-V VM that is missing the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. When I try to Install the service it is not listed. The only service listed is Windows Network Virtualization Filter driver. I have the install media but
I don't know where the driver would be located. I'm hoping someone can tell me where it is located.
Update:
I am trying to run Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name Ethernet -ComponentID ms_server but it's not working and it's giving me this error.

Ok, fixed it, I found the netserv.inf file in c:\windows\inf and tried to use it to reinstall File and Printer Sharing. However File and Printer Sharing was not listed. I copied the netserv.inf file from another Server 2012 VM and was able to install File
and Printer Sharing using the copied NetServ.inf. After rebooting the server I was able to access network shares on the server.

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

Printer server for two HP printer on VISTA PC

I have just purchased a Dell pc with the VISTA operation system.
I have two HP printers: HP Laser Jet 4100, Model CAAC049A, Serial # USJNG10352 and a HP business inkjet 2250, Model C2691A#ABA, Serical # SSG095110PR.
I want to set them up so all PC's in the house can access them. I had been using an old Linksys printserver that is no longer support and will not work with VISTA.
Is there any way that I can get these printers set up to work with VISTA and a print server? I know I can add a card to each that will let me use an HP jet direct card. I have also seen a parallel print server for sale on your web site.
What options do I have.

Script to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks

Hi, I am trying to find a way of using a batch file or vbscript to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks on a Network Interface Controller.
I've done some searching on the internet and I can see some suggestions to locate the Setting ID of the NIC and then remove the value from the "Bind" string under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage" and "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage"
I tried this but it didn't seem to uncheck itself from the NIC properties under NCPA.cpl
Can someone help me?

How to uncheck File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks by Command!!

Dear everybody,
I meet a problem with my System now, and I need your help!!!
As mentioned in title, I need uncheck on File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks by Command for Security purpose.
Could you show me the way to do it by command line
I think GPO can solve this but My Boss want to do it by command line
Thanks for your help!!!

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Network Discovery" new enable=Yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=Yes
To disable these functions in Windows, use the same command and replace 'Yes' to 'No' in the above commands.

X301 "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" removed at re booting (XP SP-3)

Even if I run the “Network Identification Wizard” (under System properties/Computer Name) to join a Workgroup, the box ‘File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks’ remains unchecked. If I ticked it manually, it remains checked for the current session, but it is unchecked at booting.
The same occurs with the Windows Firewall (I am running that from Symantec). I switch the Windows Firewall off, but after rebooting, it appears selected again!.
This happens only with my brand new ThinkPad X301, which came with Vista. The package included a kit to convert to XP, but this installed a ‘naked’ XP, which required downloading from Lenovo and Windows about 1Gb of files (bad service, Lenovo guys!).
I wonder which “safety” issue of the X301 causes this, but how can I stop this happening? (It does not occur with any of my two old ThinkPads, also running XP SP-3 and Lenovo software).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

See -> http://www.vistax64.com/vista-networking-sharing/72537-file-printer-sharing-turned-off-reboot.html Here is the text. Re: File and Printer sharing turned off on reboot
I FOUND MY SOLUTION!!!
In my case, it was in Lenovo's "ThinkVantage Access Connections" applet. It
is additional security that is applied at the CONNECTION level.
Here is how I fixed it:
1. Double click on the ThinkVantage Access Connections applet in the
notification area.
2. Click on the MANAGE button on the toolbar
3. Select the SSID where you want File Sharing to work, and click EDIT
4. Click on the ADDITIONAL SETTINGS tab
5. Next to "Network Security", click the SETTINGS button
6. The first option in Security Settings is "Disable file and printer
sharing". UNCHECK this box. Click OK for 3 levels of dialog boxes, then
close Access Connections
Although these directions are specific to ThinkPad notebooks, the same
principle may apply for other manufacturers' connection managers.
Best of luck!

Is it possible by using boot camp to set up a high spec mac pro to operate as a pc server for a network of approx 20 pcs

My company has recently bought a high end mac pro to act as a mac server. However it is no longer need but business does need a new server for a network of about 20 pcs. Is it possible or practical using boot camp to tuen the mac into a fully funtioning pc server?
jb

Thanks for the info. I don't have Server 2008 but the Boot Camp documentation says Windows 7 only is supported. Glad you jumped in knowing that Server 2008 is supported.
In the original poster's post he said he wanted a fully functioning server so I assume he wants Server 2008. If he is misusing the term server and only needs a peer network then he can install Windows 7.

Deskjet F 4480 and a print server for network printing

I have a HP Pavilion (win 7) and an Acer netbook ( Win XPsp3) wirelessly networked with the HP Paviion as the host for the Deskjet multifunction printer. I would like to set up a print server to alleviate some problems we are having with the Acer accessing the printer. Uaually all is ok, but It seems that whenever that netbook is put into sleep mode, I have to reboot it, shut down the printer (even to the point of disconnecting the USB and power cords, and then re hooking up all the cables) to get ithe netbook to print. so, I am looking at installing a print server to get around this annoyance.
I am using a DLink WB-1310 router, BTW.
Any suggestions on a capable print server? Not to mention any other suggestions, which i certainly would appreciate.
Thank you, all.

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
Good luck.

How to Set up a Belkin F1UP0001 wireless print server in TIGER?

Hi,
I've been trying to make HP Laserjet 1220 work with Mac, it works in Windows 2000, but when i downloaded the universal/binary driver at HP website the printer is not working, so i decided to attached my old printer server :(( and i dont know how to do it, the belkin server could actually communicate with MAc since it printed an information about IP addresses...
Also, there anyway that i cold get teh proper printer driver for HP laserjet 1220?
Your reply could actually make my life easier, i've been trying to fix these for a week already.
Ciao!

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry but I am a bit of a network novice. In all the literature from apple re timecapsule setup it shows that you connect Lan from modem to Wan on Timecapsule. Why do you suggest connecting Lan to Lan? Can I not disable router function of Belkin modem and use Timecapsule as router?
Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a USB print server for both Mac & Windows?

After spending at least 20 hours trying to get my Macbook to print to a Windows XP shared printer, I am giving up and going the print server route. Unfortunately there seem to be a LOT of options and some are >$100. I want to be sure to find one that works for both Mac and Windows XP. Can anyone recommend a print server based on experience?
It can be hard-wired to the network (does not need to be wireless) and only needs one USB port. Also, it does not need to be "multi-function" compatible.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, Apple just started using the CUPS printing system ~4 years ago. With CUPS drivers, you can print to all the standard comm protocols, the way drivers work in Windows. But except for Brother's, NO non-postscript printer driver on OS X was written to use CUPS. Instead they are using Carbon, the OLD OS 9 legacy programming interface. In that, they get to specify exactly which protocol is supported - and that's nearly always ONLY USB.
So, we have to rely on third party CUPS drivers. See if Gutenprint supports yours:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
or else, you may need to use printfab:
www.printfab.net
About print servers - they nearly all support "standard" protocols, which OS X (with CUPS drivers) can print to.

How to assign the proper printer driver for a network shared HP PSC 1315 on the client side

Hi,
For the sake of simplicity I'll start with the simplest part: I have successfully got the above mentioned printer to work on the PC where it is connected to via USB (running MS Windowx XP SP 3). I recently downloaded the latest install program for the printer drivers to do that. I connected it then to another PC (also MS Windows XP SP 3), and also installed the printer drivers using the HP install program and could also print on that one.
Now I wanted to share. I shared the printer on the PC connected to the printer, and on the other one I started the "Add printer" dialogue, chose network, and found it, and selected it. However, I am then told, that the host doesn't have a printer driver so I have to choose one on the client. And this is the problem, as I don't have the printer driver file. As I mentioned, there are no individual divers on the HP home page, only this install program, which I did run on both PCs, but this doesn't help me for the case of assigning the correct printer driver on a network client. Of course I also checked the list of available installed models, but it doesn't show up. So, what do I do?

just so u know I was not trying to print directly to the HP PSC 2355 from my iBook G4, I wanted to print to it over the network, wirelessly. So installing the HP Printer drivers would not serve that purpose. As I tried to explain in my email.
By the way I did find a solution that has worked for me.
The solution is to go to Print & Fax in the System Preferences.
This is assuming that you have shared the printer from the PC.
Then click on the + to add a printer to the iBook G4.
Then click on the More Printers button at the bottom.
You should then ensure that you have Windows Printing selected
You should then make sure that the drop down below is Workgroup I think
Then you should select the computer that u have your printer shared from
Then you should press the Choose button.
Your shared printer should be listed there
You should then select that printer and choose HP from the Model drop down
Then under Model Name pick HP DeskJet 900 series and press the Add button
This model is not for an HP PSC 2355, but it is the appropriate driver for this
printer, if you choose this print driver, everything will work and you can
print wirelessly from your iBook G4 to a HP PSC 2355
I have tested it on several different things including just text and color
graphics as well, and it all worked beautifully, I am so happy now, that I
figured it out.

Using a Color Classic as a print server for modern Macs?

My fiancé and I have a 2011 MBP and a 2008 MBP respectively, both running Mountain Lion.
Our network is set up through a first-generation Time Capsule, which until recently, also had an Epson Stylus inkjet connected to it.
The Epson has passed away, and the only working printer we have is an old Apple Personal LaserWriter 320.
We still have several toner cartridges for the PLW, and it works just fine... but it only has tthe old 8-pin serial connector, and from what I understand, it's only compatible with LocalTalk.
The PLW is connected to a Mac Color Classic, which has been upgraded with an LC 575 logic board (including an ethernet communications card). It's currently running Mac OS 8.6. I'd like to set the Color Classic up as a print server until we can decide on a long-term solution, but I am unsure of how to get these systems to talk to each other over the network.
Can we get the Color Classic to host the PLW for our OSX machines?

m8,
Just like any hardwares,(vga, lan card, audio card etc) drivers for XP, Vista & Windows 2003 have specific drivers of its own. You'll need to find a driver for 3110(which include its modem) for windows 2003 server, but I doubt if you can find one. There is no work around on this!

Setting up a print server for 5 USB printers

I have seven Macs in the house all networked through hubs and a router.
Does anyone know how to set-up five USB ink-jet printer through a print server from Linksys. I current use all on one shared G5, so all can choose the printers.
My first attempt by getting the IP address of the print server was sucessful, but apparently I need port information. Also, the print server feeds into a USB hub, then to the printers. Is this possible?

In my limited search for a USB print server, I recall that you cannot connect them through a Hub. Look in the documentation to see if it can do this. I doubt it, though.
