XP Pro printing to an Apple LaserWriter

[Pat]

Does anyone know if XPpro will be able to print to an
Apple Laser Writer 16/600 Post Script Printer, or must I
still use PC-MACLAN in order to accomplish this? I am
upgrading from WIN98 on which PC-MACLAN was required, and
would appreciate knowing how to handle this with XP. Thank
you.

I am assuming that the printer has the network card installed. Verify that
TCP/IP is enabled on the network card, you will need to set up a static
address unless there is a firmware update for the NIC that supports DHCP. I
remember setting up the static IP address using a MAC but it's been years
ago. You can print to this device over TCP/IP using the LPR Port or the
Standard TCP/IP Port.
