I don't know which model Keyspan you have, but I just set one up for a friend. All that was required was the installation of a driver and a restart. After that, it will just work.

The PLW 300 will work under OS X with the Keyspan in the sense that the system will know it's there, but it can't be used under OS X, per se. The PLW 300 isn't a PostScript printer, nor is it really a QuickDraw printer. (For a discussion of what that means, see the URL, below, and skip down to the Sept 17, 2004 section.)

The PLW 300 will work from Classic, albeit at 2 pages a minute--or less. And, there is a somewhat tortured path you can use to get prints from your OS X apps:

        Step 1  Create a PDF from the OS X app.
        Step 2  Open the PDF with Acrobat or Reader in Classic
        Step 3  Print the PDF to the PLW

Not a good solution for the long term.

Does anyone here have a Keyspan USB Serial adapter going in OSX? The damned
book is 38 pages and I'll just have to sit down and read it I guess!


I want to hook up my Dymo LabelWriter EL40 (there is OSX software for it)
and my personal laserwriter 300 (I would imagine OSX doesn't support it, but
it is listed as supported on the keyspan web site).
