I'm currently using an HP DesignJet 600 plotter on a mixed OS9/OSX Mac ethernet network. The plotter is connected to an OS9 Mac that acts as plotter server with MacPlot and a USB to parallel connection.
I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the HP DJ600 to have a direct ethernet link with the HP Jetdirect 170x Print Server for Ethernet (J3258B).
Anyone has a setup like this?
What do I achieve with this setup? Can I connect diretly and print with TCP/IP from OSX? I think that somewhere is still missing a link, some software... can anyone help on this?
