Re: Imagewriter II trough Keyspan on OS X

Callgirl,

First of all, do you have the Localtalk Option Card installed in the 
Imagewriter, and configured the Imagewriter's dip switch to recognize it?

I'm not sure what the Keyspan is. I'm assuming it's an Ethernet to 
Localtalk adapter. Is it plugged into your computer's Ethernet port? If 
that's the case, you need to have Appletalk enabled under "built-in 
Ethernet". If you're using an Airport network, Appletalk needs to be 
enabled under "Airport". Either way, your Imagewriter speaks Appletalk and 
Appletalk needs to be enabled in either Built-In Ethernet or Airport.

In Print Center, you should select "Appletalk" and the Imagewriter should 
magically appear as "Printer1 (AppleTalk ImageWriter)" under the printer 
list. 

If you're comfortable doing so, open Terminal and type in atlookup. This 
will display all the devices on your Appletalk network. It should look like 
this:

[Callgirls-Powerbook:~] callgirl% atlookup
Found 4 entries in zone *
ff63.87.fc      Asant?Talk 94B8BA79:Asant?Talk
ffc9.b9.80      Callgirl?s Powerbook:Darwin
ffc9.b9.81      Callgirl?s Powerbook:AFPServer
ff63.88.8a      Printer1:ImageWriter
[Callgirls-Powerbook:~] callgirl% 

You're looking specifically for the "Printer1:ImageWriter" to be there. If 
it isn't, you need to fix your network settings.

I think it's unlikely that your problem is related to the foomatic and 
ghostscript files as it sounds like you installed them correctly.

Hope this helps. Please post with your reply.
