connect Epson 850N to Pismo?
I was given an Epson 850N, and have tried hooking it up to a Pismo with no success so far. I have downloaded what looks like all the relevant software and installed it, but the printer is not seen.

stickey keys
Hi! I just joined this list, being a long-time member of the Compacts list. I have a problem: A month or two ago, a friend of mine spilled some soda onto my ibook G4's keyboard.

Re: connect Epson 850N to Pismo?
Make sure to select both Epson checkboxes when installing Panther. The driver may be in the one that is not checked by default.

Re: stickey keys
Hi, Isn`t it possible to take it apart and get it cleaned and dried then put it back? I know I read somewhere about somebody who spilled a beer and another spilled coke, in his powerbook. It is a long time ago though... But again, an iBook keyboard can be cheap on eBay. If you take some time looking around, it pays off. I saw one a little while ago at $20, which ended a little while later. Take a look here: http://search.ebay.com/ibook-keyboard_W0QQsojsZ1QQfromZR40 While doing that search, I also saw a seller selling skins for the iBook keyboard. That seems just great... I think I will get one... Aase :) on 23/01/05 10:41, Andrew, a Mac Freak at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I just joined this list, being a long-time member of the Compacts list.

Sensitive track pad - using skins
Hi, I was wondering if maybe using one of these thin vinyl skins that covers the entire keyboard, maybe could help with this problem, making the keyboard less sensitive. The one I looked at, didn`t only cover the key`s, but the entire keyboard including the track pad. Any of you tried these? My iBook is the 1.2 Ghz G4. I don`t know if the track pad is the same on all the white iBooks, or if this is a problem only on these? I would appreciate any input, as this is really bothering me a lot. I have had to re-type things so many things, and I have to stop and go to Edit--Undo over and over again. Sometimes I don`t react fast enough though, so I have lost an entire paragraph several times as it first moves the cursor then selects it and when I hit the next key, it all disappears. It is really annoying... It is impossible for me to type like I normally do (faster than most, I think) because of this, and I use a lot of time going back to fix stuff. I think it happened 7-10 times while typing the above, that is how much of a problem it is. The iBook also gets real warm, and that does not help either. Warm hands seem to make this worse, and I really do not think I actually touch the track pad a lot of the times it happens, but having the hand over it really close, seems to make it happen. I have to figure out something so I can handle this better... Thanks a lot!!! Aase :) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I just joined this list, being a long-time member of the Compacts list. I have a problem: A month or two ago, a friend of mine spilled some soda onto my ibook G4's keyboard. Now the keys, specifically those on the left side, stick and take a second or two to come back up. What is suggested to fix this problem? Any liquids that won't hurt it? Andrew Best way is to remove all the keys and clean the keyboard with a gentle soap and water combo. Let it dry for a good long while. I did that on my iBook, and I put all the actual keys into a pair of socks and then through my washing machine (front-loader, so it doesn't mangle anything). Be careful removing the keys, it's rather easy to break the little tabs that hold the key onto the arm or lever or whatever it's called. If they do break you can fix it with a sewing needle and a small pair of wire cutters. --- JSH TiBook -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: installing os9 over firewire.
Hello Alex, The eMac CD you are installing OS X from is a machine specific CD for an eMac.

Re: installing os9 over firewire.
In my experience, Panther install CDs work on any machine. The disks that came with my iBook G4 work on an iMac G3, an aluminium PowerBook G4, and a Wallstreet (with XPostFacto). It seems to be only earlier OS install CDs that are machine-specific.

sticky keyboard
Hey, just to add to what laurent has said-- I would strongly advise AGAINST the use of soap- and just use water. why? If i remember correctly, most of the parts in the ibook were actually water-washed after the soldiering phase (and before the addition of microchips) because of flux residue. Soap may be too abrasive, but water will probably not hurt the keyboard. If you do any light scrubbing (and I suggest not, just repeatedly dipping, soaking, or a light rub) it may lift the vitals off the board. I'd give it a try though. Oh, and DEFINITELY wait for it to be entirely dry, laurent was quite right in suggesting 2 to 3 days. If you've GOT to have it faster, try a fan. (NO HAIR DRYERS!)
