This version seems to work with Namer, allowing both IM II and IM LQ to be renamed properly! However, now both printers will no longer start printing a job and Mini VMac eventually says the printer isn't responding. Checked the Chooser and they still appear. I have attached logs for both printers.

I'm afraid commenting out line 262 in name_information.py didn't work. I tried changing the name of the ImageWriter LQ from "ImageWriterLQy7" to "ImageWriter LQ" but it ended up named "ImageWriter LQx>" instead. See log attached.

Another data point: I used an AirTalk to connect the LocalTalk network to LToUDP (sans TashHat/TashRouter). I was able to use Namer on Mini VMac to rename the ImageWriter LQ correctly and saw that the name of the ImageWriter II "Itchy & Scratchy" was already named correctly. @tashtari Let me...

I tried renaming it to "ImageWriterLQ" and scanned again and it read back as "ImageWriterLQ1?" sans space but with extra characters. I've included a log. On a whim, I tried to rename the ImageWriter II. To my surprise, it too now has a strange name showing up in both The Namer and the Chooser...

Yes! I've successfully been able to print four documents without issue on the ImageWriter II via LocalTalk/TashTalk! I also tried my ImageWriter LQ with LocalTalk card. First thing I noticed is the name of the LQ was "ImageWriter LQus1?" so I decided to use The Namer to try and rename it. It...

Ok, this time the ImageWriter Itchy & Scratchy DOES show in the Chooser on Mini VMac LToUDP and I'm able to select it. I then attempted to start a print job but the printer doesn't do anything (aside from ejecting the paper randomly long after I stopped the job). I went to the Chooser and it's...

Same as before, the ImageWriter II on LocalTalk/TashTalk doesn't appear in the Chooser in Mini VMac LToUDP. Log attached.

There's a Python exception when I select the ImageWriter LocalTalk driver in the Chooser. Log attached.

I deleted my current install, pulled the latest repo, and replaced the "service/name_information.py" file with the one from your previous post. Unfortunately the ImageWriter II on LocalTalk/TashTalk doesn't show up in the Chooser in Mini VMac via LToUDP. So I wasn't able to print anything. I...

Alright-- I pulled the latest tashrouter from GitHub and applied these patches: Commented out the 4 checksum lines (45-48) in tashrouter/datagram.py Changed the multicast function on line 193 to send long headers in tashrouter/port/localtalk/__init__.py Changed the multicast destination network...

Sorry, spoke to soon. Let me test that again.

Thanks for this detail! I decided to abandon the MacIPRPi installation and start with a clean Raspbian Bookworm install and build Netatalk 2.3.1 from source. I followed this guide and it worked without issue. I also saw a previous post that Bookworm already had the appletalk kernel module built...

I thought of that too, but I don't think atalkd is set to be a router/seed. From what I can see, it's just a node. This is from the atalkd.conf file: br0 -phase 2 -net 3-5 -addr 4.171 -zone "EtherTalk Network"

Interesting! Thanks for pointing that out. I'm making a guess here that it's because of dhcpd still running. I disabled it on the MacIPRpi image with sudo systemctl stop dhcpcd.service sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service Now eth0 doesn't get an IP address assigned. Unfortunately, this didn't...

Strange, I've noticed that when I reboot the RPi, it's a 50/50 chance in the Mini VMac Chooser EtherTalk Zone that either the HP LaserJet 4000 showing up or the MacIPRpi netatalk suite of tools showing up, but not both. I wonder if it has something too with the zone ranges? Also, shouldn't the...

Just an update on my progress of getting tashrouter to run on the same RaspberryPi as MacIPRpi. I figured out that Raspbian Buster also didn't have the "uml-utilities" installed which provides (among other things) the tunctl which is needed for the "tap2" device in @finkmac 's instructions...

Progress! I commented out the four lines for checking the checksum in datagram.py and the ImageWriter II shows in the Chooser under the TashTalk Zone in Mini VMac! I started a print job using Illustrator 3 and it began to print. However, the print stalled about halfway through the job...

I've made the patch to tashrouter/service/name_information.py destination_network=entry.port.network, #destination_network=0x0000, No change in Mini VMac Chooser, but there appears...

Thanks! I applied the patch to tashrouter/port/localtalk/__init__.py #self.send_frame(bytes((0xFF, self.node, 1)) + datagram.as_short_header_bytes()) self.send_frame(bytes((0xFF, self.node, self.LLAP_APPLETALK_LONG_HEADER)) + datagram.as_long_header_bytes()) and run it again. No change...

This is fascinating! A bug in the LocalTalk option card that Apple likely quietly fixed in software elsewhere? Is there a way to use tashrouter in an eavesdropping mode and monitor tashtalk and LToUDP? I can use it to monitor Apple Internet Router routing the ImageWriter (I have the II and an...
