Does anyone know anything about the LaserWriter IIf?
I've got it hooked up to a PC running windows 2k. I'm getting several problems with it. I havent been able to print from it yet.
1. I'm occasionally getting all 4 lights blinking. I dont think there's a paper jam.
2. I'm getting occasional smeared test pages with alternating semi smeared test pages coming out. Looks like a toner problem, correct?
3. When all 4 lights aren't blinking I just get a continuous blinking green light when I try to print to it and nothing ever comes out.
Did you have a look at the user and service manual?
4. If this printer is hooked up to a PC (I previous had it on a Win95 box about 7 years ago and it worked fine) can it be shared on home network?
Yes it is a network printer pur sang. That is networking via appletalk but Windows talks apple too, to printers at least.
5. A related question to printers - can you "refill" an old StyleWriter II cartridge with one of those injectable ink syringes?
I would think so. They are canon cartridges. Did you have a look at google: 'Canon BC01 refill set'?
