My Xante Accel-a-Writer is not communicating with my macmini. I understand that OSX 10.6 doesn't support appletalk, and have configured the xante as an LPD printer and entered its IP address. The mac seems to recognize the xante; shows up as the default printer, shows the correct driver, gives the advanced options, etc. and attempts to send data to the xante, but the xante will not respond - continually reads "initializing" on the control panel. In addition, we can't use the xante control panel while it is connected to the macmini (via USB), and can only print a test page when the USB is disconnected. ??????? What am I doing wrong?

    Xante is telling me that mac OSX 10.6 WILL support the AW4g, just has to be configured right, plus we use it in connection with Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/CS4...we used the AW4g on our G5, but it died so we purchased the macmini. Please try again? - Laura

    Trying to get xante AW4g to communicate w/macmini (OSX 10.6-no appletalk), but does not respond, control panel on printer says "initializing" continuously...have set up the xante as an LDP on the macmini and input the AW4g's IP address; the mac seems to recognize the printer, but the printer doesn't recognize the mac? Can only use the control panel on the xante printer when it is disconnected from the mac. USB connection between the two. What's wrong?

    There isn't a power button but a power switch - tried this. When I try to print it tells me "network host is busy, will try again..." Any other ideas?

HI! As a first course of action please unplug the printer from power source and press hold the power button for 15secs. to reset the system. After 15secs. plug the printer to power source, turn it on and see how it goes. This can resolve the problem. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

    Sometimes it requires few on and offs to resolve this. Just turn off the printer and let it sit for a day.

Hello,

First, I would recommend that you connect the Xante Accel-a-Writer to a Windows OS computer (xp/vista). Observe if it will function perfectly. This will determine whether you are doing something wrong or if the problem is from the Xante Accel-a-Writer or if they don't support each other.

You can test the Xante Accel-a-Writer on a friends windows OS computer if you don't have one.

Let me know the out come so that I can direct you further.

Good luck.

Xante accel-a-writer 4g for mac OSX 10.6

I haven't checked in a while. Xante told me when I called them that they were not planning to make updates past the current version of the 4G OS X drivers, as the machine was no longer in production. They said the driver should perform adequately on current versions of OS X even though it was not initially designed for them (as they did not exist when the driver was created).
I found this to be untrue in my case. The drivers did not allow me to print consistently from 10.5.8 on an Intel Mac Pro.
My solution was to activate the print server on an Xserve running the Tiger server version of OS X, install the Xante driver there (since it was designed to run on that version of the OS), and now my newer macs can use the printer without issue.
