Apple LaserJet 16/600 PS from WinXP Pro

[Nicolas Macarez]

Hi
I am trying to print on an Apple LaserJet 16/600 PS from WinXP Pro machine.
This is network printer located on an IP address of my LAN, say
192.168.0.50.

I guess I need to create a special port on Win XP when I install the
printer: there is indeed an Apple LaserJet port in XP, but it doesn't work
and the job is not printed - stuck in the printing queue.
On the Apple and/or Microsoft Mactopia website, they say that the driver is
integrated in XP.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Nicolas

This works on W2K - Have not tried it on XP, but you
should be able to adapt it. Good Luck
