Modifying my LaserWriter IP address within SheepShaver ...

Post by rlesperance »

Hi ... Can I communicate with my networked LaserWriter 16/600 PS in SheepShaver, since I am only able to do that in OS 9 ?

Hi,

Our printing guide suggests you can communicate with such a printer over IP.
The Apple printer utility should allow you to change the IP-address. If it does not, you can always use the option to set up a telnet session to your printer from a machine (not SheepShaver) in your network.

Best,

Hi Cat_7,

Thanks for your reply. My LaserWriter 16/600, while open and on the network does not show up in the Apple Printer Utility (v2.1). What can I do more here ?

As for the telnet option, can you guide on how to set up a telnet session ?

Regards.

Assuming that SheepShaver and TCP/IP in MacOS are configured correctly to use the network (do you have internet access in SheepShaver?):

Maybe this information can help: http://www.whoopis.com/howtos/laserwriter16-600/

If you need to set up AppleTalk in SheepShaver to access the printer, see our AppleTalk setup guide: http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/app ... heepshaver
