You'll need to make sure you get the right printer driver for the Mac too; not all printer driver packages include a networking driver... Be careful in what you decide is "the rig…

I meant to give you an update on how things went. Right now I am sitting out in my back yard typing on my Macbook Pro, so everything has worked out well. First, everything hook…

Just got my new 2.0 GHz MacBook Pro and am absolutely delighted with it, except for one really annoying prolem: I cannot get it to print to my network printer via AppleTalk over th…

Most networked printers prefer TCP/IP connections over AppleTalk. AT has been "depricated" in standards terms-it's not the preferred interface and is not being supported for newer…

Yes, that works perfectly. Thanks! But I'm still at a loss to understand why it doesn't show up on the MacBoook Pro AppleTalk interface, when it did on my G4 Powerbook -- also runn…

Thanks for that but yes, I did know it already Tried deleting prefs, setting up a new user, all the usual suspects. No dice. I can't help it but even when a fix has been found and…

I'm starting to get the feeling that Tiger-Intel has some "differences" in the networking department. The AppleTalk issue is probably one of them. Remember, even Apple thinks of …

Hmmm...take your point BUT...If this is indeed the case, why can I see and access the printer via AppleTalk on my MacBook Pro on an ethernet connection? The AppleTalk access to net…

I am also having the same problem. I am unable to print over Appletalk using Airport but it works fine using the Ethernet port. Yes I made sure I had Appletalk enabled on the pro…

Jolly glad to know it's not just me. And particularly useful that you have recreated my exact same problem. Try the TCP/IP interface to see and use the printer over Aiport. It work…

I would not know exactly how differences in Mac OS for Intel-based machines have been implemented, but it's just as possible that the AirPort implementation is lacking in AT suppor…

I have exactlu the same problem as discribed. How do you set up a TCP/IP printing with a network printer ? How do you find IP address of the printer (LW 630) ? Thanks

I have the exact same problem with my new MacBook Pro. Prints fine over AirPort/AppleTalk on my old PowerBook, won't print over AirPort on my new MacBook, although it WILL print vi…

I have my printer set up on my home network with a static IP address. When adding a printer in the Printer Setup Utility, select IP Printer instead of the Default Browser, and choo…

I set up my LaserWriter 4/600 PS as an LPD per the instructions above, and chose the correct Apple driver from the list. However, when trying to print, it's still unable to find th…

You are not looking to set the printer up over AppleTalk if you use the LPD interface. If you click on the blue drop-down arrow to the right of the Address field, you will see the …

There are many, many WAPs that support Appletalk over ethernet but don't support Appletalk over wireless. I suspect from what's been said here that the Intel wireless chip in the M…

I too have the same problem. I have two HP LaserJet 5MP printers in my house connected to my 802.11g wireless router via the Farallon Ethermac iPrint adapters. There are several di…

Slightly off topic, but don't the Laserjet 5MPs have ethernet ports? If they do, then by all means scrap the Farallon adapters. They are completely redundant. Chris

Appletalk now works over Airport after the 10.4.6 update released today.

Yep, great news, as ClassicMac has pointed out! This is from the read me for 10.4.6: ''Addresses an issue that could prevent MacBook Pro from printing to wireless printers via App…

Great stuff! Just updated my MBP and we're in business.
