Re: Tiger on a Pismo?
If you have Panther and can get it for a student discount then yes. If your back on 9 and this would be the first release of X, then this is for you, I would say go for it. This is the first release I thought we should have had at X.2 and that's pushing it. There were a lot of problems with mail in this release, not only that it's butt ugly but for many in mail, it just did not work. There were all sorts of desk beaters, getting in early for the prize. Include me, which is not sop.. Just go to the Apple boards, please remember Apple filters heavily but hey it's their servers. There you will find the ghost mail, voodoo mail, lost mail, addresses gone and all sorts of mail fun. I think they have worked out most of the problems. I read they brought in a softie to design the new mail, so that answers why mail is butt ugly and had problems. It feels more stable, how do I quantify that, I guess living with it from it's first release X.1 and using 9 right along side till we got to Panther. I am running a Pismo 500. 1 gig of ram and a 7200 Hitachi/IBM 60 gig drive. When major changes happen, I usually put the old drive working 100% into a external F/W case and get a new drive for the new system. These Pismos are just hard to give up but I am afraid our time is a year or 2 for useable features. There are already major items that we can not benefit from not have. The full use of processing speed the graphic memory and others. They have me tempted for the Desk Tops but but 10K out the door, I do not trust Apple Care for that. Things need to change. The Lap Tops are lagging. I have a couple of G4 iBooks 1.2, max ram and really there not much faster then this pismo for most things or at least WOW that cooks. So yes if you have been waiting, this is the time, although panther is just about as good and a lot cheaper YMMV Good Luck Geoff Be nice. Everyone is going through troubles that you have no idea of.

Re: ethernet help
Thanks for the info Luis. The only problem is when I look in Network Status nothing shows, it is totally blank. I didn't realize it should show something. Got any ideas why it would be blank? Thanks, Pam Maybe you don't have any network ports activated in the location you are using. Try selecting Network Port Configurations in that same popup menu, instead of Network Status. This is where you can select which network ports you want to use. Make sure that there is something selected there. You should at least have a checkmark on Built-in Ethernet, or otherwise I don't see how it could work... Also, it should come in first, as the order you indicate here is the order the system will try to use these ports. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It has an icon like a droplet near it if i remember correctly from my old Epson. If you press the button for 2 or 3 seconds it does the head cleaning thing. That seems to have worked; it's printing pretty well now. This procedure isn't in the manual. Also, when I did this, the printer only made noises for a few seconds, whereas when I would do a software-initiated cleaning, it would work for 30 seconds or more. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

networked lpr on the cheap?
what's the best way to get a laser printer online, for printing from MAc (OS9, OS X) and PC (Win98, WinXP). I have a few HP5L parallel port laser printers that I got on the cheap and fixed with parts from www.fixyourownprinter.com. And now, Samsung has a 1200x600dpi 17ppm laser printer with USB and parallel for $150 ($24 after rebates from Office Depot, see www.bensbargains.net). It's not available in our zip code, but I've seen a few deals around $50 for lasers, and this Samsung model is $72 from Amazon for example. Its not postcript, though, and the drivers are host-based rendering. The US Samsung site does not have Mac drivers but the Australian Samsung site does, and they are located here http://www.samsung.com/au/support/productsupport/download/ Model_Select.aspx?type=Printertypecode=15subtype=Laser +Printercmssubtypecode=1501model=ML-1740filetype=DRlanguage posts on forums indicate they are working for people with Classic and OSX macs. back to 8.6 perhaps. I can't get the $24 deal in my area, but it has got me looking for the next time I see a deal on a Brother laser, perhaps. I also have an old Digi FastPort 3100CX+ serial/parallel /10bT print server that I got used, so that could fit in as well. I'm not sure if the parallel interface will be fast enough for me, though. Digi doesn't have any info on their pages about this old beast, that I can find. Here's my thoughts so far: -Lasers are getting pretty darn cheap! -I'd like postscript if I could, but for cheap I'm likely to need a Brother or other new model that has both Mac and Win drivers. -it will be hard to do what I want for 9.1, Win98, OS/X, WinXP with the HP-5Ls that I have. Questions that I have: -what's the cheapest current printserver hardware to use for this sort of thing? Would it be worth it to try and use the ancient Digi 3100cx? I suspect not. I don't wish to dedicate a CPU as a printserver. -anyone have a favorite el cheapo laser model/ manufactrer for Mac and Win printing? I have good experiences with Brother at work. thanks, Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

We have an HP color laser at work for which 4 toner cartridges and an imaging drum costs about $600. A new printer of the same model costs about $500 and is dropping. So when the first toner cartridge gets down to about 15% remaining, I'm just going to order a new printer and toss this one in the trash. -- Sincerely, Dennis B.
