Hello, I need help in setting up a network printer for my MAC running OS 9.2.2. The printer(Canon i560) is connected to a Linksys switch with an integrated printser USB port. The MAC is also connected to the Linksys Switch which then connected to a Negear router which is connected to a Cable Modem. The MAC can access the Internet and can printer directly to the i560.
To automatically install macOS updates in the future, including apps downloaded from the App Store, select ”Automatically keep my Mac up to date” from Software Update in System Preferences. Starting with the version posted 10 August 2017, this application includes an additional feature that allows each user in an OS X/macOS multi-user system to create a second disk image that will be accessible in Mac OS 9 only to that user.
I want to move the i560 to the print server and then configure the MAC to recognize the network printer. The printer server address is 192.168.1.60 (static IP). I am not sure how to add a network printer. Linksys does not provide a MAC setup disk, only a Windows setup disk.
I set up the print server correctly with a PC and I can print to the i560 from the PC, I just need now to figure out how to add a network printer using MAC OS 9.2.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alan. My experience with Macs, PCs, ethernet, and print servers in a mixed network is that most generic PC print servers will only work with PostScript printers with a Mac. Well i would say that does it for mac. Therefore, while your Mac may see the print server, it can't see a printer that isn't a PostScript printer (e.g., almost all inkjet printers).
So if your Canon is an inkjet, your Mac will probably not be able to use it through your print server. Check your printer server literature including PDF manuals on disk or on line. They probably say that the printer server works with Apple Macintosh for postscript printers only. This problem is true for OS 9 and OS X, so changing OSs won't solve the problem. Hello and thanks for the reply. I am fairly new to MACs eventhough I have a older one. I think the commands you gave me are for OS X, do you what the counter part command (for adding a printer) is for OS 9?

Thanks again.Alan First, make sure you've got the drivers for the printer. You may have to search for them on the Web. Also make sure you have the Adobe PS (PostScript) driver installed. You can find it at duct=44&platform=Macintosh If both of these are installed, it should be a simple matter of selecting the Adobe PS icon in the left panel of the Chooser.

The printer should show up in the list in the right panel of the Chooser. Just select the printer and click 'Create.' Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9). Hello and thanks for the reply.
