Hi, Do you have the Epson printer description for OS9 in your Extensions folder in the OS9 System folder? If not your printer won't appear in the chooser.

Re: can't print from os9 classic from g4 mdd
hi bruce that worked, except the transition to pdf messed up the original layout (business cards in this case) but at least i can futz around with it and maybe get it right. ideally it would be great IF three were an os9 printer driver for this printer (doubtful, i looked on epson's site), but i thought there was a way to print from classic to an osx system. i tried print sharing over a network from another mac but i couldn't get it to talk to the printer.

I vaguely recall that there is a way to create a 'print to Postscript' printer in OS 9; you have to use the Desktop Printer Utility, though. Then you can open the PS file in OS X with Preview (which converts it on the fly to a PDF) and print it. Play around with the DPU.
