Greetings- For over a year I had lived with monitor and storage problems on my Power Tower Pro (500mhz G3 upgrade, OS9.1, 640mb RAM, part of a Ethernet/Airport network). One by one those problems got fixed. The only remaining one (keeping me from what passes as computer happiness) is that the PTP will not reliably print to an Epson 1270 inkjet printer. Every 3rd print or thereabouts stops in mid print and the PTP often freezes. I have the same problem whether I print through the PCI USB(-FireWire) board or if I go through the Ethernet network to an Axis 1440 Ethernet/parallel converter. I print in foreground, not background. Tried giving beaucoup RAM to the Epson Monitor. No help. I'm using the most recent Epson and 1270 drivers. In fact the same software and the same (mostly Illustrator) files print to the same 1270 through USB from my iBook with complete consistency - haven't lost a print yet. That's my workaround: Airporting all the files to the laptop and printing from there. It's a bit cumbersome. FirewireDirect said that Apple has not done a great job with its PCI USB implementation. (Might be PC bias.) But having the same problem through Ethernet suggests this may not be a USB thing. Maybe this is a PTP glitch. After all, it's an old computer rigged with all this modern stuff - I can't expect 100%, right? Perhaps not, but I still think there's a solution if I can just find it.
