Rao) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac Subject: Lser printers without Appletalk Keywords: TI OmniLaser, AppleTalk, Serial connection Message-ID: <892@osupyr.mast.ohio-state.edu> Date: 28 Sep 88 18:51:05 GMT Organization: Ohio State Math-Stats Dept Lines: 17 I am not very familiar with Mac and need help with the following: Here is a Mac SE and a TI OmniLaser 2106. The 2106 has a parallel port and a serial port (with two connecters: an DB25/RS232 and a DB9 RS422). It also has Postscript builtin. The primary use of the 2106 is through the parallel port doing Postscript. I want to connect it to the Mac as a Postscript printer. The chooser tells me that a LaserWriter must on AppleTalk. Any way out? AppleTalk is not a good option because that makes the 2106 dedicated to the Mac. Physical disconnection is not something that I want to do each time, especially as the setup is in a public lab. I appricate any and all help you can give me. Please reply by E-Mail (vkr@osupyr.mast.ohio-state.edu) as I am not a regular on this newsgroup. Thanks.
