The previous owner had no problems. The AsanteTalk connects to the router via Ethernet, then by WIFI/Airport to my iBook G4. The computer just does not see the laser writer although the driver is part of 10.4, according to Apple tech. When I click on the More Printers button to locate the driver and install it, the Rx light on AsanteTalk flashes, but the Tx light never flashes. Is the printer deaf? Or is there something I'm missing in the installation of all these cables and gadgets? Any solutions, hits, tips, suggestions, etc. sure will be appreciated. Thank you,
Happy Holidays, Paul Etxeberri
You should phone the Asante tech support people in San Jose, CA, who will talk you through the fix for free. I lost my printer-MacPro connection, the other day, and everything works fine now, thanks to their advice.
I'm running 10.5.x and no WiFi so the fix may not be the same, but it was just a matter of sort of re-booting the Asante box. Here was my fix, if that helps: 1. Delete that printer from your list of printers in System Preferences.
2. Make sure your computer, printer, and Asante box are all hooked up together and turned on.
3. Click + under the list of printers in System Preferences.
4. Click AppleTalk icon in top row of dialogue box that appears.
5. After a moment, click Bluetooth icon instead.
6. After a moment, unplug the power cord from your Asante box (but not from the electrical outlet).
7. After a moment, re-plug the power cord into your Asante box and, as
soon as possible after the "TX" light comes on, click the AppleTalk
icon again.
8. Within a few moments, your printer's name should appear. Highlight
its name, then make sure all the information about it that appears is
correct, then click "Add."
9. Everything should communicate beautifully. I had no further problems.

I recently hooked up my G5, OS 10.5 via Ethernet. I have a DSL modem with Asante Appletalk hooked up to my computer and the printer, as before when I had a G4 tower (OS 10.4.x). I have Apple talk active, but when I hit print, the job is paused. I tried troubleshooting through the whole network set up and configuration but cannot figure out why the TX light doesn't start blinking and printing. The RX light blinks. I tried disconnecting the power and the other cord that plugs into the printer, waiting a few minutes and reconnecting but still no luck. Same problem with my G4 laptop via Airport. Also, I notice that there is one place in the configurations that says "URL: ipp:///" Should I have some kind of URL there? It already shows the IP address where the printer is hooked up via ethernet.

I use an Asante bridge in order to use my HP Laser Jet. It connects to the router with an ethernet cable. Is there an Asante bridge that connects with USB? Thanks! Ave
