I have used OSX since it was released, but only on iMacs and up. I now am the proud owner of a 266MHz (overclocked to 300MHz) Beige G3. I have installed a FireWire card and USB card, all working happily, Second hard drive and so on. I am enjoying myself. 512Mb of RAM will follow shortly courtesy of Rhonda Howells.
I am also the proud owner of an Epson Stylus 600 printer which is working really well in OS9 and on the DarkSide box. My goal is to get it working in OSX (probably using Gimp Print). Now my question is... How do I go about it. Has anyone achieved this feat. From trolling the net, it appears OSX recognises the serial ports. Just not printers attached. Do USB to Parallel cables work? Are the various adapters which seem to be available useful and cost effective? Or should I just go out and buy a new printer (which rankles a bit! - reeks of giving in). Any advice, consoling words or plain speaking "Give up, get a G5 and a new printer" would be much appreciated. Of course I could always send it via the home network and print on the PC, but that doesn't seem right either. --- Cheers Greg =:)([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- Outback Mac is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Outback Mac list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/obmac.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/outback.mac%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
