That's not necessary. > Also my Palm doesn't get synced NEARLY as often as it should! > > Does anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong? 1) Navigate accordingly: hard drive -> system folder -> startup items Dump the alias to the serial port monitor from the startup items folder. 2) Check your Palm Desktop settings so that enable at startup is NOT selected. This will mean that whenever you want to sync you must open the Palm Desktop and enable HotSync setting and disabled it when done; not too tough. This should make it easier to sync your Palm more often. > I guess it's time to shop for a networked laserwriter - with the > added advantage that then I can print when I'm plugged in at the > couch as well as at my desk! There are a lot of good bargains on eBay. I got an HP 4MV for a good price. This is a post script printer, so it works in Jaguar. It comes with Ethernet, and it can accept 11 x 17 paper. there is a QMS model that is essentially the same printer. You can find a lot of these old critters for sale. Despite age many have seen little service, and, consequently, are in very good shape. Ask for a page count printout before buying. > (Darn, I wish that USB printer sharing would work between OSes 9 & X > as Apple said it would with Jaguar, but I hear didn't deliver.) It works fine for me. Could the Ethernet card on the Wallstreet be the problem? Not sure what's up with your printing problems. What kind of printer are you using?
