If the latest isn't very good, where can I get the second latest you mentioned? Brian Brian, The version numbers are a bit confusing. My understanding is that the drivers included in the OS support only the printing operations, not scanning; and your number is probably up to date in this respect. To have the full operation of the psc one needs to have the appropriate driver from hp. This appeared on their site as 6.3.6 (the last time I checked). When I tried to scan with this driver I got an alert saying something like memory sharing not yet implemented. If you want to try and see if 6.3.4 works for you, e-mail me privately and we can try to figure out a way for you to get it (it is too big to e-mail, so I could probably upload it to some place on the web).

Re: AIrport Extreme Printing.
I tried to get some help in the apple forums, but have had no luck so far. This week I got an Airport extreme base station to go along with my iBook G4. Setting up a network was pretty easy- I have my iMac G3 wired in, and the iBook connects wirelessly with an airport extreme card. The built in modem is great, lets me connect to my ISP via 56k, which is my only option right now, wirelessly. The network works great, except for the printer I have plugged into the base station. I have a HP PSC 750 plugged into the base station USB port. The software for it is loaded on both the iBook and the iMac, and both computers see the printer in the network via the rendevous selection, but I can not access it with either computer in any way shape or form. The one lead I have is that when trying to access the printer via rendevous it says the drivers are not loaded. Can anyone help? TIA, Brian HP drivers are usually awful... may I inquire what is the version of the driver you have? 6.3.6 (the one, regrettably, in the hp site the last time I checked) is a total disaster. The previous, 6.3.4, is better. The first thing I would do is revert to version 6.3.4, if possible. IIRC, my printer had written in the box something to the effect of networking NOT supported; but, since mine has worked, even wirelessly, via usb printer sharing, i'd say there is hope. I think you should add the printer as HP all in one printing (or something to that effect), not as rendezvous. You should then be given a choice of usb or tcp/ip; the logical thing then would be to choose tcp/ip and put the ip address of the base station (probably 10.0.0.1, but you can find that out with Airport Admin Utility). I don't have a base station with print server, so I cannot test this. HTH Luis Sequeira I -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
