As I wrote in my original letter: �MacOS X will rcognise the printer even if it is not specifically mentioned in the printer list.� Therefore if you just let it autoselect when you add printer in printer center the Laser II NT printer should be found. Unfortunately I just upgraded to OS X.1.5 and since that upgrade the printer is �not found�. I still have to investigate the problem further since i installed FAXstf at the same time and this adds the Apple Internal Modem as the active �printer�. At present I am not sure whether this conflicts with the printer. I have had printing work successfully under OS X. Regards D�nes
