We have a Sharp AR-275 Copier/Printer. Printer
connected through a router on LPR Port/Protocol.

I'm trying to print, but it's only printing an error.:
"Error: PostScript printing not licensed for this
printer."

I can Ping the printer's IP.

I have the printer drivers installed. WinXP
workstion can print with no problem.

I tryed print an image or a document, but nothing
works. Not even printing Google webpage.

I tryed enabling and disabling appletalk, nothing.

Any Help?

I have been told by more than one person that
Macs cannot print to an Ethernet-connected
printer unless the printer is postscript capable. I
use USB printer sharing for a non-postscript
Brother HL-1440 and that works (most of the time,
sometimes I have to unplug-replug it), but the
printer is connected to another computer on the
network. (The printouts look gray, but that's just a
mechanical thing I guess.) My trusty old HP4ML
printer is postscript cpable and works great using
a localtalk bridge so I can connect that old serial
printer to the ethernet network.

If your printer is not postsctipt capable I think you
have to host it with a computer, or maybe a print
server at least.
