AppleTalk Printers don't work in Snow Leopard

[cmcfarling]

While it seems this thread has strayed a bit from Appletalk printers, I'll continue that to reply to the last thread.

The Core Duo and Core Solo are not 64bit processors. Having SSE3 support is not a deciding factor of an Intel processors register width.

SSE3

Show me any evidence that a 64bit process will run on a Core Duo/Core Solo.

"the only way to expand beyond 4 gigs is to use 64 bit addressing"

Yes and no. If a single process needs more than 4GB then yes. Otherwise the OS can address more than 4GB using PAE and dish out multiple 4GB chunks to multiple processes.

I had a similar trouble. type Command+P to open print dialog box, select imagesetter (panther Por 62, agfa accuset, Screen rt 2035 or anyother), then on PDF option change to any Poscript option. Change other parameters.
If you have a Panther Pro or Panther Plus may be PDF format is incompatible, then select PostScript in print dialog box. Prin to a file an copy the file to a hot folder in the rip.

. If we wanted to go all CS4, then we would have to replace the G5's, but thats Adobe forcing us, not Apple.

I am running CS4 on G5 PPC without issues, is there a known problem with this?

Don't panic, guys. Just because AppleTalk is gone, you don't have to toss your printers. I got my 10-year-old HP LaserJet 2100TN working with Snow Leopard without any problems. I outlined the situation with details and references here(snippity snip). Good luck and spread the word. It bugs me to see folks missing out on an easy fix.

Unfortunately this only works for printers that support tcp/ip and some older AppleTalk printers do not - hence the server solution posted by member: PrePress Guru.

This also invalidates the advertisement for a certain book advertised in your original link because the printer has to support tcp/ip for this solution to work.

Yeah, this threw me off too. I think the intent was CS5 on a G5.

AppleTalk is Dead! Bonjour!

we have a 10 year old HP that works perfect with ip printing in 10.6. Could be hit and miss with printers. But HP's are usually well supported by Apple.

BTW.. even though you might have a intel mac and upgrade it to 10.6. Don't expect it to run 64 bit apps. Some of the older intels are limited by the EFI firmware and will not support 64 bit. Thanks Apple!
