You can use the older GutenPrint drivers, the newest won't work with Jaguar. The last version compatible with Jaguar is 5.02 available here: <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/gutenprint-5.0.2-ub.dmg?download > For Jaguar 10.2 you'll also need to install the ESP GhostScript drivers from here: <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg?download > Since your G3 is USB 1.0 you probably should also install USBTB which is a new USB driver that's much faster when printing over USB 1.0. Install this last after restarting for the others and it will automatically detect your printer if you have it plugged into the USB port and start the correct setup procedure for selecting the driver. It makes the printer setup process much more automatic. USBTB is available here: <http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/usbtb-1.0.17.uni.dmg> Should get you going.
