Does multitalk support printers? #13

Open RolandJuno opened 1 year ago

RolandJuno commented 1 year ago

I'm giving this a try but not seeing my AppleTalk enabled printers.

I can confirm it works with printers. I was able to see and query a queue on a netatalk server from mini vMac via LToUDP.

It may be because my printers (a LaserWriter II and an HP on EtherTalk) are assigned a net address of 65281 and above. I found a comment you left on a forum that Multitalk doesn't support those ranges, which may be why I'm not seeing the printers on LToUDP.

I do have a RaspPi running MacIPGW but atalkd's config file is all commented out so I don't think I have a router.

I'll have to do more testing. I have a HP printer with native support on EtherTalk, plus a netatalk server on the same segment (which I can turn off). I also have a LocalTalk connected HP that I can test via TashTalk.

What is the configuration in terms of the System Software and LaserWriter driver version on the Macintosh side?

I'm using System 7.5.5 and LaserWriter 8.3.4.
