Getting the Citizen Notebook Printer II working thru a Keyspan UP-6C
USB to parallel adapter with OS 10.4
Have you read the available info on Gimp Print in OSX? As soon as I
saw Keyspan USB to parallel adapter I know what the issue was. These
cables have well known issues with Mac OSX. In short they don't work!
this is likely why Keyspan has made drivers for the cable sounds like
the drivers still have issues maybe? Here a quote form the FAQ at Gimp
print ON OSX.
While the Gimp-Print drivers are not partial about any particular
brand or model of USB-to-parallel converter cable, when used with Mac
OS X certain brands of cable appear to work better than others. Some
cables which work fine in Mac OS 9 (such as the Keyspan
USB-to-parallel cable) reportedly do not work at all in Mac OS X.
They even have a forum which talks about which cables work. I picked up
a generic PC USB to Parallel cable at Fry's for $12.95 and have used it
with no issues for 3 or 4 years. Most cables require no drivers other
then the Gimp print drivers . Starting with Panther they are built into
the Mac OS . You don't even need to download anything. Here's a link
for more info and links.

PS. Sorry but I now see a good reason for post limits. IMHO there was
no reason for you to post all that you did. Basic idea of the problem
is better then a novel ;-)
