My USB issue has been solved.
My brother ( a SuSe Linux user ) pointed me in the direction of this site with a log of discussions regarding a USB problem
The info on: http://www.macintouch.com/mos9usb.html was very useful. When time permitted me to read it in detail I found out that I was not alone in the problem I was trying to solve.
The extensions on: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech/ftp/usb/usbextensions.sit were the answer.
I created a folder on two floppies. One to hold the new extensions, the other to copy the old ones into in case of a problem. When this was done the old ones trashes from the computer not the floppies. All I did then was to shutdown and then reboot. When I checked the chooser and the ASP the printer was identified and selected in the chooser. A small email was selected to print and this was done with ease.
Hope this helps other listers with the same problem.

Hello Listers,
I have resolved the br_background running problem that prevented me from loading any new software. So I have reinstall Apple 1.4.1 USB card driver and the new Brother printer driver version 1.7.2. I downloaded from the Brother site. Unfortunately I still have the same problem APS sees the card bus card but not the location of the printer. Chooser has the printer icon in the left box but when clicked on, no connecting port appears in the left box.
Could this be and issue where the printer will only work with a computer with a built in USB port.
Any feed back will be greatly appreciated.
John Abraham.

I have a Wallstreet 233 MHz (II) that I am trying to link to a Brother HL-1240 Lazer printer with a Belkin 2 port USB 2 card bus card.
I downloaded the Apple 1.4.1 card support application and loaded plus the printer driver that came with the printer. No Mac software driver came with the Belkin card as the Apple card support application should take care of this. Other listers have had success with this make of card so compatibility should be OK.
The card is seen by APS but with the printer switched on no printer is seen. Chooser shows the printer icon on the left but when clicked on nothing is seen on the right. I have looked on the Brother Web site for any additional info but could only find an up dated driver so I downloaded this.
