Print to Netgear PS110 from Mac OSX

July 30th, 2007

Problem:
At home we have an HP OfficeJet D135 connected to the 2nd parallel port of a Netgear PS110 printserver. I want to print to that printer from my mac which is connected to our wireless router.

Fix:
Open up the CUPS administration window in Firefox by typing http://localhost:631 on the Mac. Then go to the Administration->Add new printer. Just give it any name (i used "OfficeJetD135, I'm not sure if you can have any type of special characters, it might complain with spaces, etc...) On the next screen choose "LPD/LPR Host or Printer" for the device type. Then set the device URI to: "lpd://192.168.1.2/P2". Choose the make and model and your done.
