ImageWriter II now available to AppleTalk

(1 / 1)


For all you Appletalk users out there:

	There is now an ImageWriter II hooked into the Appletalk network that
all you should be able to print on.  It is located in the ASAP development lab
(across from Mike Albaugh's and Jim Morris' offices).  

	To use, Select the Chooser from the Apple menu on your Mac, then select
the AppleTalk ImageWriter icon (looks like a printer with a wire coming out of
the bottom).  The "ASAP lab ImageWriter" should then show up in the upper-right
hand box.  Make it highlighted if it isn't already, then select the goaway box
(square in upper left corner of the title bar).  Now you can print.

Note: You PacerShare users will probably have to change from EtherTalk to 
LocalTalk before doing the above.  To do this, Select the Control Panel from
the Apple menu, and choose "Network" from the control panel.  A couple of icons
will appear (LocalTalk and EtherTalk and possibly EtherTalk2).  Pick the
"built in" icon.  Now do the Chooser stuff from above to print.  When you are 
done printing, be kind to the rest of the users and switch back to EtherTalk 
(not EtherTalk 2)  EtherTalk icon looks like a pair of arrows pointing in
opposite directions, while the Ethertalk 2 icon is similar, but each arrow has
2 arrowheads instead of one.

If this stuff doesn't work for some reason, let me know and I'll install the 
necessary stuff on your Mac.
