In a place where I have worked , the Epson printer (a model 1500 machine (A3) from 1997 or so) was connected to a 200 MHz PowerMac (system 7.6.1), which had a program called 'RIP Server' on it. The 68k Macs (system 7.5.5) had 'RIP client' software installed. Everything went well. (Even over Localtalk PhoneNet stuff!) It may very well be possible that the RIP Server sofware will also work on a 68k machine. I can ask them about the version of the Epson RIP software if you like. -mart (back from being busy : ) -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
