 May be off topic for this list but don't know where else to ask. Does
 anyone know if it is possible to print continuously off a roll of
 paper with a sheet feeder printer?

Lots of inkjets allow printing off of a roll of paper, yes; they tend  
to be the more expensive models, though.

Going 'Auld Skool', you can even still buy dot matrix printers for  
continuous form feeds.

Re: Snow Leopard won't play with my printer...

2009-10-02 Thread Bill Spencer

After doing as much research as I have time for I'm thinking that I
can get the printer's IP address if I 1) install OS 9 and Panther on
the external FW drive I use for backups (I have disc images of 9 and
its updates, and install discs for Panther), 2) boot from there in
Panther (since I understand that I can't boot either iMac in 9 since
they're Intel machines), 3) launch Classic, and then 4) fire up the
Apple Printer Utility (or whatever it's called). That drive's about
85% empty right now so space isn't an issue, but I'm wondering about a
couple of things:

A) Can I partition this drive without deleting what's already there?

B) Would I need separate partitions for OS 9 and Panther?

C) Is creating OS partition(s) even necessary? I probably wouldn't
keep the OS stuff there long-term since I have no need for Classic,
let alone 9, except for this (I hope) one-time issue.

D) Would there be any reason to install OS 9 alone, then cart the
drive and the printer to a friend's house who has a G4 eMac which
could run 9 by itself? I'd rather not have to horse the stuff around
but if the main strategy is flawed I can certainly do so.

E) Can I install 9 from the images or would I have to burn discs and
install from those?

If there's anything I'm missing or forgetting, please give me a whack
on the head. As always my thanks in advance!

I knew I forgot something. I find the Apple downloads page very hard
to use when you're trying to find old, outdated stuff like the Apple
Printer Utility. Could someone please point me to where to find it?

Go to Apple.com  Support  Support Downloads, then Older Downloads  
down on the lower left hand side of that page.
