[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1688699, member: 175845"] Congratulations with your HP LaserJet 6MP setup and good info for others that might or could use it. You're lucky that the HP LaserJet 6MP supported AppleTalk that needs OS X 10.5.8 or earlier for support but it also supports other protocols such as IP which my old HP LaserJet 4ML doesn't. It only supports Mac serial using AppleTalk!! No Ethernet at all. But even when setting it up for network access, I discovered that it wouldn't work properly with its given default name until I changed it to the same name but using underscore characters so that it contained no spaces. Still working, but the HP LaserJet 4ML does need a Mac running 10.5.x or earlier with AppleTalk installed and enabled. We use such an old Mac as a print server when needed, usually for large b&w print jobs. Waaayyy cheaper than using the newer inkjet for those jobs!!! [/QUOTE]
