Hi all, I've read a few guides for bridging AppleTalk with ethernet for AppleShare and printing, but I seem to get stuck at some point going down each path:
[Reddit] How I got my SE/30 to print to a cheapo laser printer.
I set up the VM and did my own from scratch, following the instructions. Everything seems to work except the A2SERVER can't see the Mac and vice versa.
Eric Bylenga - 68K Macintosh and a Modern Printer
Not sure my printer is compatible with LPD/LPR. And if it is, I can't discern the queue name.
[68kMLA] Network laser printer for old / modern Macs?
Same here, tried the updated LW software with no result
My hardware:
- A SE/30 running 7.5.5 with an Asante ethernet card
- HP Envy 4520 printer on wifi
- A2SERVER on the same network and subnet as the Mac (10.0.1.236 and 10.0.1.239 respectively)
And relevant software settings:
- AppleTalk set to Ethernet
- LW 8.5.1 installed
- A2SERVER running cups is able to successfully print test pages via the web ui
At this point I have no leads on troubleshooting. I think the A2SERVER route is probably my best bet, but I've hit a wall.
