I am thinking about buying an Apple LaserWriter printer, I think it's a 4/600 or something like that. I have a 7300/200 running OS 9.1 and OS X 10.1.5 via XPostFacto. Is it possible to get this printer to print?
I know the XPF site says that "serial devices supported, except serial printers", but I don't know if this is out of date, as info on the Internet often is. Is there a hack, or a driver somewhere for the serial ports in OS X, something like the "Floppy driver" from the Darwin Project?
Just a observation: the "Floppy driver" from the Darwin project kinda sucks. I tried it, and it takes 5 minutes just for the disk to mount. A lot, lot longer if you try to actually look through the files on the disk! I recommend if anyone needs to get files off of a floppy in OS X to boot OS 9 or your Classic partition and get them off that way instead. It's quicker!
TIA
