Using Personal Laserwriter NT with OS 10.5.5

Is there anyway to use my Personal Laserwriter NT with OS 5.5? I used an EtherMac iPrint Adapter when I was using OS 9.
I was able to get it to show up on the PB 17" but when it went to print it said "Printing" then just disappeared with no action on the printer.

This is a PostScript Level 1 printer. Use the drivers from _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/pslevel1_. You will still need to use AppleTalk and your iPrint adapter.

  • Using Personal LaserWriter 300 w/eMac, OS X 2

    Did anyone ever come up with a driver to allow a PLW 300 to work with Mac OS X? Along with the appropriate serial to USB adapter, I'm assuming. My one last query before I bite the bullet and buy a cheap Brother model, I guess....thanks for any help...

    Cave Man,
    I have not. If UkiSnuki checks back in they may have more details. They are creating a pdf file in OS X and then apparently printing in 9.2.2 on a dual G4.
    My tendency would be to use WoodPlane's approach of using ethernet to get the file to an older Mac since I have more machines than sense. Ethernet solves so many problems that I just keep old Macs around as dedicated task machines on the LAN.
    I have yet to test several LW 300s just because they are not plug and play to the mini. Sorry that I do not have a quick fix for you.

  • Personal LaserWriter NTR and Windows 7

    I've used the Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR with my PC running Windows 2000 Professional for years. I'm replacing the old computer with a new one running Windows 7 and would dearly love to use my beloved LW NTR with it.
    I know I can buy a Parallel to USB cable to connect the two. But is there a printer driver that will work with Windows 7? A search of this site suggests that the last printer driver Apple released is version 4.1 which is the one I use with my Windows 2000 computer. Will it work with Windows 7? If not, any other ideas/suggestions?
    And a less important question: I also have an old Apple iBook clamshell laptop with OS X 10.4 (which I mostly use "on the road" for email and web browsing—it has an Airport card and is WiFi enabled). Can I cable it up to use with the LW NTR at home for printing?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    These Printers are Postscript level 1 printers that can be identified and used under the Linux-Foundation Postscript level 1 driver.

    LaserWriter
    LaserWriter Plus
    LaserWriter IINT
    LaserWriter IINTX
    Personal LaserWriter NT
    All these printers are AppleTalk/LocalTalk printers.They also need a converter from AppleTalk-over-Ethernet to AppleTalk/LocalTalk to print in Macs without a round serial/LocalTalk port and/or Macs running Mac OS X.
    The AsanteTalk OR the Farallon EtherMac iPrint LT can do the conversion for you. (There is also an unsupported Apple software solution that can be run on an OS 9, 8, or 7 Mac that has both Ethernet and a round serial port.)
    If you have the printer set up on your iBook under Mac OS X, you can use Mac OS X Printer Sharing to share the Printer with Windows computers using SMB protocol:

  • I want to use my Personal Laserwriter, but it won't work with my imac

    I have a personal laserwriter printer. It work great with my older mac - Performa 580CD. However when I tried setting it up with my imac - using a MacOS 9.X driver and usb-serial adaptor - it only works with OS 9.x softeware.
    So I have a laser printer that I cannot use. I'd like to get it up and running for my MacBoo Pro, too. Any advice?

    The personal LaserWriter NTR and the Personal LaserWriter 320 are Postscript level 2 printers that can run with the built-in Mac OS X Drivers.
    What is missing is a way to make the connection to recent machines that do not have a Printer/Modem/LocalTalk port. You can use the Mac's Ethernet port to carry AppleTalk packets (in addition to the standard TCP/IP packets) and use a converter to bridge from Ethernet to LocalTalk.
    Two converters are available on the used market: The Farallon EtherMac iPrint LT and the Asante Asantetalk. The Asante may also be available new, but at a cost near US$100 new, you could get a more capable used Ethernet-capable printer for the same money.
    If you have an older Mac that has a Printer/Modem/LocalTalk port and an Ethernet port and is still running OS 9 or earlier, you can download a package called LocalTalk Bridge to run in the background and do the conversion.
    The other Personal LaserWriters would require a bridge AND a third-party driver.

  • I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s and an iPad 4 mini. I have unlokced my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a diffeent SIM and new number, can i have all devices associated to me single appleID and use both numbers ?

    I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s (perosnal mobile numer) and an iPad 4 mini (no SIMM). I have unlocked my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a different SIM and new number,
    Do you know if I can have all devices associated to my single apple ID and still use both numbers without messing up my profile. It has just changed my number over.

    I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
    So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.

    If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

    One is personal the other is business.
    When I send emails from the BUSINESS address, any auto-replies/out of office notices I get come to my PERSONAL INBOX.
    I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

    Edit the SMTP server list. Add a new one for the business account. Put the correct password and information for it. Give it a description so you will know which server is which. Mke sure the correct server is highlighted in the account selected and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do that for the other account also.

  • How to connect my perfectly-working 20-year-old Apple Personal Laserwriter 320 to my iMac running Mountain Lion?

    How to connect my perfectly-working 20-year-old Apple Personal Laserwriter 320 to my iMac running Mountain Lion?
              Thank you, Morty S.

    I have a perfectly-working LW 4/600 with exactly the same issue. They use localtalk - a long obsolete network connection, that doesn't connect to modern networks, and appletalk as the comm protocol.
    I think the only choice you have is to use an old powerPC Mac as print server. You tell me which old Mac you have, with a localtalk connector, or that runs OS X 10.4 or earlier (so it speaks appletalk), and I'll tell you how I've done it for the past 11 years or so.
    Right now I use a G4 running 10.4.11, plus an etherMac ethernet to localtalk adapter.
    Before, I used a PMac 6100 running LPD server software.

  • I can't get my G3 iBook (OS X 10.4.3) to drive a Personal LaserWriter 320.

    I have just resurrected my trusty Apple Personal LaserWriter 320 and the Asante Talk adapter that worked flawlessly on my iMac 9.2. Using the Ethernet port on my G3 iBook with Tiger I get the error message -50 when I try to add this printer to my list.
    iBook G3   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   LaserWriter 320
    iBook G3   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   LaserWriter 320, iMac 9.2, iMac G5

    Do you have ethernet set up on the G3? It must have an IP address before appletalk will work. This is different from the way ethernet/appletalk worked on OS 9.

  • Personal Laserwriter under System 7

    I have a friend using an old Mac II ci (or cx - can't remember) under System 7 with the "tune up" applied. Her Personal Laserwriter ntx died and we bought a pristeen Personal Laserwriter LS. Trouble is, we don't have the System 7 printing tools disks any more. The printer came with System 6.4 disks that recognize they cannot be used with System 7. I downloaded the latest Personal Laserwriter 300 1.21 driver and it works fine on my System 9.22 Wallstreet. But, when we use that printer extension under System 7 and try to select the printer in the chooser, we get the error that the chooser is too old for that driver.
    Anyone have a clue as to the least invasive way to get this working? She is happy with the computer and printer and does not have the money to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Try using version 7.3 of the Chooser if you're using an older version.

  • Personal LaserWriter 320

    I have an old Personal LaserWriter 320 which worked perfectly when connected by Ethernet to my Power Mac G4. I have now connected it by Ethernet to my new iMac. My problem is that the printer now 'prints' a blank page between every genuine page. No tweaking of paper specs, margins, or defaults has worked. I can stop it by printing one copy of page 2 to page 2 (out of a 3 page document say) but if I ask for 2 copies of page 2 to page 2 the blank comes out between them -- just as when I ask for page1 to page 2.

    I am using the EtherMac iPrint Adaptor which was supplied a few years ago with my G4 to enable me to use the printer (which I already owned).
    I am using the built in Mac OS X Driver.
    The printer uses A4 paper.
    Page Setup allows me to choose between US Letter, A4, A4 Small, and others. I choose one or other of the A4 options every time. This seems to stay put in TextEdit, but not in Word, not in System Preferences.
    Printing starts further up the page than the top margin says it should. It would appear that the computer always assumes that the printer uses US Letter paper.
