Hi
I have just acquired a G5 Mac, which I want to print through my Windows network to a Brother HL-2040 printer.
I have tried a few options, such as turning on the service "TCP/IP printing" to automatic, & I can see the printer on the Mac, however when I got to print it just spits out pages & pages of blank paper.
What I *think* might solve my problem is emulating a Post Script printer , which I think can be done through Ghost Script.
However, this is all incredibly new to me.
I have set up the printer and to a redirected port - RPT1
In the properties box under ports>configure port I have the following information:
Redirect this port to the program:
C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.57\bin\gswin32c.exe
Arguments for this program are:
@c:\gs\mswinpr2.txt -sOutputFile="Brother HL-2040 series" -
"run" is set to "hidden" & everything else is default.
When I go to print a test page, the print icon pops up n the task bar for a few seconds, and if you view the active printers it says there is a job waiting, but then it just disappears.
I've tried a few things and keep running into brick walls - so time to turn to trusty afterdawn!
I realize that there are probably millions of variables here - but if someone sees something that doesn't look right, or has any ideas I could try, you will save me hours of frustration!
Once I can get it to print a test page I should be ok to go from there...
