Q: What are the queue names of the TE100-PS3 Plus?
A:
Q: Why can’t I see my printer status information?
A:
Yes, but you must assign the print server an IP address from a Windows based operating system
first. Once that is done you can use LPR or LPD printing for the Macs and you can manage the
print server by entering its IP address into a web browser. Also the printer must be a postscript
printer. Note: For a Macintosh the printer must support post script.
The queue name will be PS-xxxxxx-P1, X being the actual number listed in the Port Name box. It
is case sensitive.
Print servers are IEEE1284 bi-directional compatible. This means that data can be sent and
received in both directions between the printer and the print server.
Toner status, paper level, etc., will not be communicated back to the PC. In order to get printer
status information, the proprietary printer driver has embedded code that needs to be passed on to
the print server, decoded, then interpreted by the print server. Trendware print servers do not
support embedded driver codes. Trendware print servers, whether in Gateways or Stand Alone,
are plain TCP/IP print servers.
