This is probably correct. Brother uses a lot of open source software in its printers so there is a good chance that they will have drivers that work with OS 9. Another thing to do is to make sure the printer supports Ethernet and PostScript. These are both long established standards. A new printer that supports them both will work with a standard OS 9 printer configuration. The only problem you are likely to encounter is changes in the format of PPD files. Some of these may not work in OS 9, but if that is the case you can probably just use an earlier version of the PPD from a earlier model of that printer. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
