I'm going to throw this out to the group... I've been following threads, going to the usual web sites (lowendmac, xlr8, etc.) and I've racked my brain on this issue: my father bought our family a HP colour printer (5550) and a PCI OrangeLink+ combo card (as suggested by the vendor where he bought the printer) for my Mac (BeigeG3/266 MT Rev A, 384RAM, OS9.2.2)
I've installed the card in slot 1 (as suggested by OrangeMicro), installed the HP software, plugged in the USB cable and the printer is not coming up in the chooser. My own troubleshooting has included: - trying the other slots - getting rid of the 9.2.2 usb extensions and installing the 1.4.1 set - trying possible extension conflicts I'm concerned that the issue might have to do with usb 2 capabilities of the card (and the printer), something not supported under 9.x. But in digging around, it appears that the card is backwards compatible. I should also point out that I see the USB slots in ASP, but not the firewire. This afternoon I hope to try out the firewire capabilities. Any thoughts, guidance?
