TCP/IP printing

alewis · 25 June 2006, 23:56

Is there any means to allow an Amiga to print over an IP network, preferably direct to a network printer (as opposed to a shared PC printer via a samba/network share under windows?)

Printer is an HPLaserjet 2100, I don't need a specific driver for it as it will emulate the original HP, or do postscript (hmm, I remember how slow the Mig was printing compared to a P133... don't fancy trying to a postscript print!).

Reason I ask if that I'm going to resurrect my A4k and 1200, and my printer is network attached. Last time I printed anything on a Mig, if I can remember that far back, was a Deskjet via parallel port, using Print Studio II (or what ever those replacement drivers were called).

I remember the print system was reasonably well decoupled from the hardware, for example I could print via PAR: and PRT: to the onboard parallel port, or redirect to the GVP IO and Multiface parallel ports, so I'm hoping that IP printing would be as simple as printing to LPT under an IP stack...?

NetPar Client at this time, cannot be used with a
Network ready printer. Sorry for any time wasted trying
out my program.

No worries, haven't got as far as resurrection yet, yet alone network connectivity.

Anyone else any ideas/knowledge/experience/success stories?
