It prints sooooo fast!
One problem I still have is that when I went to OS X, it no longer recognized the ethernet card I had the printer (actually a small LAN connected via a hub) connected to. Since I haven't been able to find another card that does work, I just disconnect from my DSL and change the ethernet cable over.
By the way, does anyone know of a specific network pci card that will work under Panther?
Thanks!

Hi list,
I just got an almost new (11000 pages printed yet) Lexmark Optra M410 laser printer at a Mac sale. But I can't get it connected so my beige MT (OSX 10.3.4 XPF, OS 9.2.2) sees it. The Lex has (slow) USB (I connected that to my Sonnet Trio) and ethernet 10/100 which is connected via a hub (10 Mbit UTP half duplex), on this hub there is another laser printer, an Apple LW 630 Pro plus my ADSL modem both of which work O.K.
What I tried so far:
I went through all the menus of the printer, found the address of the printer which I used when I configured it (well, tried to) for TCP/IP-printing in Print Center, no joy. When I want to print, my Mac keeps on connecting but never prints.
On the network page which the Lex prints from its Utilities Menu it says AppleTalk is off but in OSX and Classic it's on. When I configure the Lex for USB, it doesn't print either. On the LCD menu of the Lex appears the text Flushing Buffer then Waiting PS USB and then it goes back to Power Saver.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? The demo page of the Lex looks very nice, I think the printer is A-OK but I'm missing something. I'd like to keep it and make it print ...
TIA, J�rg.
