Re: TCP/IP printing on a 16\600 AppleLaserwriter

Your answer may lie in the following technical document:

Which seems like you won't be able to override the password without
changing out the logic board. It looks like the password gets embedded
into non-volitle memory. I've seen this happen several times when once
there was a Postscript virus that would lock out a Laserwriter for
good.
