- Hi there,
-
- Just to let you know that the OpenPrinting database can be
- updated. I am using the apple laserwriter 4/600 ps and it works
- perfectly!
-
- How?
- The laserwriter 4/600 ps has a localtalk connector and I print to
- it from a suse 7.2 installation on a plain pc. Between the pc and
- the printer there is an AsanteTalk box which bridges plain ethernet
- and etherTalk (over localtalk).
-
- pc eth0 ------ AsanteTalk ------ laserwriter 4/600 PS
-
- On the linux pc I've made an entry under /var/spool called
- laserwriter4600ps under /var/spool/laserwriter4600ps:
-
- - I've created a file called .paprc containing: (without the ---)
-
- ---
- BDG's LaserWriter 4/600 PS:LaserWriter
- ---
-
- my /etc/printcap file contains:
- ###
- lp|Link42 LaserWriter|BDG's LaserWriter 4/600 PS:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/laserwriter4600ps:\
- :lp=/dev/null:\
- :pl#63:pw#85:\

- You need the following rpm's (or newer versions) to get it
- working, it might also work with earlier versions, file
- locations may be different between versions...
