Mac Forum / General / Hardware / September 2004

I just got a nice Laserwriter 16/600 off ebay for my daughter to use at
college.  Ultimately, I am hoping she can print to it wirelessly.  
Here's her setup as it presently exists:

Rev A iMac OS 9 - Netgear MR814v2 wireless router - cable modem...and a
900 Mhz iBook OS 10.2.8 with an airport card.

Since the Netgear router won't pass Appletalk wirelessly, I have to use
IP printing, right?

From what I've been able to gather from Apple's techinfo, the web, etc,
I use Apple Printer Utility on OS 9 to assign an IP address to the LW
16/660, something like 192.168.0.5, I assume.

Then I have to tell the router to reserve that address based on the
printer's MAC address.

Then on OS 9 I use Desktop Printer Utility to set up IP printing and the
Print Center to set it up on OS X, right?

However, my question concerns what to specify for the "queue."  I've
come across some notes that say something about how old printers
sometimes need some unix code in the queue like <lp -d> or something
like that. Can someone give some advice on this?  The problem is that I
need to drive 100 miles to do this setup, and I want to be prepared so
that I can get it right the first time!

Thanks!

Bill
