What's Changed
- Stack: Add route table for multi-segment AppleTalk networking by @Arctessa in #30
- This is the start of us supporting basic packet forwarding to multiple networks and zones. Nothing particularly changes here for end users, but it does add new APIs for controlling next hops, cable ranges, and so on.
- GUI: Add LaserWriter printing bridge mode by @Arctessa in #29
The second one I am really excited to add - This adds support for AirPrint-ifying LaserWriter printers. If Ghostscript is installed on your system and the checkbox on the GUI is enabled then any LaserWriters on the same network will be automatically discovered and exposed to the network as an AirPrint / IPP compatible printer after the server starts. This should then allow it to work on your modern Macs, iPhones, Android, Linux and Windows systems just like any other modern printer. It additionally pre-rasterises the pages to try and reduce the printing time as these old beasts can take 5-10 minutes plus to process modern prints without it.
This is still very much experimental! I have only tested this on my Apple Silicon Macbook and an x86-64 Linux machine - It should work on Windows but I dont own one to check. Please let me know if it does :) I also have only tested it on my LaserWriter 4/600 but it should auto-query the available specs on the printers and make other ones work too.
