I seem to have a bit of a problem with my laserwriter (A 16/600
if that matters) printer: I setup my solaris box to act as its rarpd so

the printer can get its IP (i.e. add the MAC to /etc/ethers, the IP I
want to give to the printer to /etc/hosts, and ran rarpd). The printer
seems to be picking up its IP without a problem:

/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[4] RARP_REQUEST for 8:0:7:4:d4:83
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[4] trying physical netnum 10.0.0.0 mask ffffff00
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[4] good lookup, maps to 10.0.0.6

but I cannot ping the printer or connect to it. What could be causing
that? Only clue I have is that I would have expected a "immediate reply
sent" message back, telling the info has been sent back to the printer,
but I did not see it.

What am I missing here?

The manual gives very little information. However, since the printer does
support DHCP, why not use that?

AFAIK RARP was only used for old sun computers and that's why it's
still in Solaris.

Mauricio-

I assume you are trying to get around using Apple's "Apple Printer
Utility", which requires OS 9 or Classic mode.

It is possible that the printer has been configured in some way that
prevents your pinging or connecting to it. It may be possible to return
it to factory default settings by using some reset process. I don't
know how that would be done unless you could hold down a button on the
control panel while turning on the power.

There is an article at
<http://www.whoopis.com/howtos/laserwriter16-600/> that may help, except
it appears to rely on the Apple Printer Utility. However, it does
mention a side-panel configuration switch that may be helpful.
