My in-laws and myself have not been able to get this printer to work reliably with any Mac's: They tried is via USB under 9.1 and 10.3.x with problems on a G4/400 and 7200/120, and then with a 300x that I loaned them which fails as well. It works flawlessly from their Window's machine (a laptop). They have to reset their PRAM about every 4 or 5 times they print, or the printer just sits and does nothing. I have no idea if the issue is with the printer or the driver, but bottom line is the thing sux big time. They didn't bring me into it until recently, and the blasted warranty is already expired on it. I wish you best of luck with this "thing": My nose is still bleeding from my encounter with it. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
