You could do as I've done with a PTP, and use the PCP as a dedicated printer unit. This is especially useful with legacy serial port printers, but also overcomes the hiccups which can occur even when background spooling/printing is utilized. > 2) If I don't use it...where could I find someone who would be > interested in a -- still in perfect working order -- PowerCenter Pro > 180? A family member, or close friend who hasn't yet make the plunge into the computer world is the best recipient outside of list members here. I've given away several machines, including 2 PTP's to computer-challenged friends who were uncomfortable buying a computer for several hundreds of dollars, knowing that they can depreciate in value faster than a sixpack at half-time. Aside from the inevitable phone calls for assistance, (which can be annoying when the reason the monitor won't work is that the plug is out), it's a real pleasure helping others get started with learning, although they are invariably too dumb to realize just how lucky they are to start off with a killer unit like the PowerCenterPro or PowerTowerPro...(spoken with all the disdain which accrues to us old farts who had to suffer through the misery of 8 mHz MacSE's etc. for far far too long...=) Cheers...Michael -- Power Computing 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> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> 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]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
