| LaserWriter 12/640 PS |

Just landed a LaserWriter 12/640 PS for free at my local Craigslist. Brand new ink cartridge and a AAUI ethernet transceiver. The guy said he couldn't get it to work with Leopard.

It works great in Leopard - fully supported by Apple after all these years. Excellent workhorse printer.

That's what mine is called, "Workhorse". I got mine off ebay a few years back with the duplexer and extra 500 sheet paper tray. It had only printed 7000 pages too. They are damn nice. I got mine working with XP by copying the Appletalk files over from Win 2k, and I use it under Tiger natively as well.

How did you copy the AppleTalk files?
My roommates use XP and to make the printer work I have to do this convoluted stuff with IP addreses and IPP and it usually breaks after a week.

I believe I ended up googling the issue and then downloading a small installer someone put together with the files needed from Win 2k. I didn't have a Win 2k installation running when I wanted to get it going again, so I did it that way.
Here's what Google comes up with:
Hard way:

and this tells you how to copy the Appletalk files:

I can't find the place where I got the installer anymore. It was a sort of hacked together job that barely worked, but it got the job done. In the last XP reinstall I did (new hard drive) I got PC Mac Lan from my friend and simply used that. Works like a charm.
