I have a LaserWriter 4/600, which I purchased back in '92 or '93, I think. It works perfectly. However, it requires a SCSI connection with the Ethernet port. When I bought a new computer in the mid-90's, a Mac G3, which I still have, I was advised that I could still use the laser by using an Asante switch. I have had that switch since that time, too, and it still works perfectly.
My problem came along when I added cable internet, and then dsl internet when I dropped the cable. My dsl modem needs to be connected to the ethernet port. So, I bought a router which would allow my new G5 (at that time) to use the internet and my G3 to use the laser writer.
I would like to move the G3 to a different room and to plug the laser straight into the Ethernet connection of the G3. No matter what I turn on and off in the preferences and to reconfigure the G3 to use the printer, it will not work unless I use it through the router. Evidently I have set up some kind of network for the printer to be used through the router, and I can't figure out how to undo that.
Is there anyone who can get me back to the state where the printer is devoted to the G3. The G3 is running 10.4.
Thanks!
