Hi guys, need some serious help with this.
Ive just got a Designjet that will not run well with the usb connection via shiraz rip
they told me to use ethernet.
So ive got a normal CAt5 cable and plugged it in, but no joy.
I was wondering if I needed a crossover cable to accomplish this, as I have no ethernet network, and I have plugged the Mac straight to the printer with a normal cat5.
From what I can see from the old HP Mac software its possible to have a direct connection, but how to accomplish this I have no clue at all.
I have never quite grabbed the language of networks and TCP IP and all that stuff.
Any help here would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Chris
