I used the LaserWriter driver on both. I had fairly good luck with the LPR drivers on the PowerMac, but haven't tried that yet on the IIci. I rather it just worked with the same Netatalk setup. I have run the stock 7.1 setup on the PowerMac and it was fine. A few days ago the hard drive in the PowerMac died so now I can't compare notes. That's one reason I'm posting, since I lost my working configuration. Netatalk isn't showing any errors and I don't believe the Mac even makes contact after the initial query for the printer. I'm even wondering if it is differences in how Appletalk runs on the PPC versus the 68k. Netatalk is pretty old, but I would imagine most testing these days is done with PPC machines. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
