I have an older iMac with OSX 10.4.11 networked with an Asante router connected with a serial port to an HP LaserJet 6MP. Got it set up and working years ago with help from a posting at the time. The tip I needed was setting the queue name to "lp" or something like that.
So, my wife forgets the turn the printer on before she prints and the job goes nowhere. Instead of deleting the job, she deletes the printer instead. And I am back to square one.
I tried adding it back, specifying the router IP address (which I can ping) and the queue name as 'lp' 'ip' 'IP' and every other combo I could think of but it just says "Network Host 192.168.0.50 is busy blah blah blah".
The funny thing is when I do get info on the queue in print center, the queue name is not the value as typed, rather the default assigned name is present. Could this be the reason?
