[G4] printer networking question

[Richard Northouse]

Jack,

What type of network -- mac or pc.  If it is a pc network, Windows does not
like Appletalk, which I believe you will need to communicate to the
Laserwriter.  There is a commerical product called MacLan which can be run
on a Windows network, permitting a pc and other computers to see an
Appletalk device  -- computer or printer.

However, MacLan costs about $200, which is more than the cost of a new
printer!!!

Hello,

I am attempting to get my Mac Quicksilver which is
running tiger and is located in my classroom to
connect to my Laserwriter IIGS printer via the school
network.  The computer sees the various printers
throughout the school connected to the network, but it
does not recognize my classroon laserwriter.  Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jack Law
