My S520 has always worked perfectly for me, but I'm not using a USB card so I don't have any experience with your particular setup. I aware of others' experiences with USB cards, though, which have generally been fixed by moving the card to a different slot. This might be worth a try. My S520 prints just fine from both MacOS X 10.2.3 and Classic. VERY occasionally I do get a connection error, but this is invariably fixed simply by removing and reconnecting the USB Cable. This I put down to a common problem with USB devices, though. It's necessary with my Zip Drive about every second time I use it (which admittedly is not very often these days). I'm running it from a USB hub attached to my G4, but it works just as well directly from the keyboard. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, :::::::::::::::::::::::: Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
