Ok I'm not a total newbie, just need a refresher. I have taken on an upgrade
task.
I am helping a friend who owns a business upgrade his Mac system. We bought
a used G3 333 PowerMac running OS9.
He has a Xerox DocuPrint N2025 laser printer. It was hooked up to his old
7100 PowerMac we replaced. I am trying to make it work on the G3. We have no
installation disks for the printer. Here's the question/problem:
Can I not hook up the printer via the Ethernet? It was connected to the 7100
via Ethernet. When I try to set AppleTalk to Ethernet it tells something to
the effect: Cannot connect Ethernet. Check your connections. If I recall
when I worked with PowerMacs where I used to work you needed to have
AppleTalk set to Ethernet. Is this correct? If so what could be the problem
why it will not let me set AppleTalk to ethernet?
The only other ports on the printer are :USB (no USB on G3) and parallel (no
parallel on G3).
Also I have downloaded the file :
Xerox_PPD_Installer_v1.4.hqx
from the Xerox website to try to put on next week when I go back. Is this
the proper driver program I will need? It says it is recommended for the
N2025. Also available under search for drivers for the N2025 is:
AdobePS_8.7.3_Installer.sea.hqx
Also availabel are these Utilities for the N2025:
N2821254.sea.hqx Flash firmware update for the DocuPrint N2025 and N2825
printers.
LaserWriter_Utility_7.7.sea.hqx LaserWriter Utility v 7.7
Will I need either of these?
One more question, please:
We also got a HP ScanJet which has never been hooked to a Mac. It is hooked
to SCSI chain on the G3. Which one ore more of the utilities/drivers found
on the HP driver download page will I need?
ScanJet 4p PictureScan Driver 04-01-96 2.0
ScanJet 3c, 3p, 4c, 4p, IIp, IIcx and ScanJet Plus DeskScan II Software
06-19-97 2.3
ScanJet Plus, IIp, IIcx, 3c, 3p, 4c, and 4p Color Copy Utility 11-06-95 2.0
ScanJet 4c/4p/4s/5p Visioneer PaperPort Viewer 12-27-95 2.0
ScanJet DeskScan II Software 09-01-97 2.4
I know this a lot but I need all the info I can get before Monday so I can
get the thing up and running for him. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
I'm really stuck on the printer issue.
