Netgear FM114P
Hi all!
I'm planning to buy netgear FM114P wireless router. Has anyone managed to get the printer server working on osx?
They say on the manual, that you could use lpr, but their techsupport says that macs are not supported...

Re: Netgear FM114P
The problem is that native OS X lpr support only does PostScript, but you can work around it by grabbing the "gimp print" software that uses "ghostscript" to translate the PostScript into the appropriate output for the printer. This URL should tell you more than you want to know about this:

HTH - Good luck!
