Mac Forum / General / Hardware / July 2006Networked Printer
I am trying to add a networked printer to my Imac. The printer is physically connect to the window/Linux box. The Imac is plugged into the router. I can get the printet to print from the mac but it prints in code and not the text that I wanted to print.. Any ideas? What printer is it? Does it have drivers native for the Mac OS? Need a little more info to help? > I am trying to add a networked printer to my Imac. The printer is > physically connect to the window/Linux box. The Imac is plugged into > the router.

You proved that you've got data connectivity, but the two computers are disagreeing about the protocol to use. Probably if you play with what make and model you told the computer the printer was, you'll get it to go. You didn't give enough info above to be any more specific. I wrote here recently about the opposite set up: connecting the printer directly to the Mac, installing Apple's free Windows Bonjour, using it to configure it on the Windows side as a postscript printer. What is Windows Bonjour? I got an HP 1000 connected onto my G4 tower. The XP tower can connect to it as well as the iBook. The work was getting the HP1000 to talk to the G4 tower. That was a bugger finding a good driver. > > I am trying to add a networked printer to my Imac. The printer is > > physically connect to the window/Linux box.

Apple's Bonjour web page: <http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/> A link to the Windows Bonjour downloadable: <http://a1408.g.akamai.net/7/1408/9955/20060417/akamai.info.apple.c om/Bonjour/061-2389.20060417.bnjr3w/BonjourSetup.exe> Bonjour is also know as Zeroconf in the UNIX world, and Apple previously called it Rendezvous, until trademark issues caused them to change it.
