Hello and thanks in advance for reading and perhaps solving my problem.
I have this big 'ol magicolor 2300 dl network printer, i got it from my dad about a year ago. I had it working on my macbook pro with SL (but then i downloaded lion and reinstalled SL 1,5 week later again so that set of settings is gone).
Now i have an imac with SL i want to connect the printer to. I already read most articles about this via Google, and i know about the 2430 dl driver and all, but after trying out more things actually nothing is working right now.
- My imac sees the printer,
- I got the printer (yesterday, with settings that are gone now) to react to print orders but all that came out were blank a4 paper and it gave a size mismatch with each try.
- i need some clarification on the settings for the printer so they match up with my imac.
* IP address should be the same as my imac(?) right.
* Then there's also a sub-net mask which I think is set to 255.255.255.5
* A gateway address, that was set to the same as my ip, but now has the 4the set of numbers differs by one.
* And finally there's a hw-address or something like that.
Settings on mac:
hp Jetdirect - socket
address: IP address
Queue: blank
Name: whatever the name
Location: IP address again(?)
Print using: selected 2430 software, i think that one worked before on my macbook. I really don't get why its not responding this time.
If someone can help me out a little that would be nice.
