Soon after I wrote to you, I checked my install CDs (no extra drivers) 
and the internet (your Apple printer IS supported - using your 3rd 
party device - drivers are already installed).



I didn't upgrade to OS 10.3.9
but I did all else that you suggested.


It is hard to be on the same page if you don't update, but I guess you 
have your reasons.



Do you know if OS 10.3.9 will get ride of apple-known
problems with "classic"? While trying to fix this
not being able to make appletalk active. I read
somewhere to also make it active in OS 9. That's
when I noticed that when I clicked on appletalk
control pan in classic, it said "the application
or control pan is not supported in classic"
How can that be when it was installed with
OS 9.2.1


Each update to the OS does make improvements including improvements to 
the Classic environment, but I can't tell you anything specific. I am 
just working from my own experience. I hardly ever use Classic these 
days - only for some old MacDraw II layouts. There are several control 
panels that are not used under Classic because OS X provides the 
services, AppleTalk being one of them.

Re: Reasons that Appletalk can't be activated?

First off, I'd recommend going to 10.3.9 - works fine on my Pismo. We 
have a fairly similar setup, though the Pismo is retired to occasional 
use. We have an old HP4MP connected via iPrint.

Just for trouble shooting's sake, create a new network "location" with 
just ethernet (turn off everything else: modem, IR, etc. in 
Show->Network Port Configurations) and make sure AppleTalk is active 
and then click Apply Now.

In the Application->Utilities folder, open Printer Setup Utility. If 
your printer is there, select it and click DELETE in the toolbar. Then 
click ADD and in the drop sheet choose "AppleTalk". Hopefully your 
Apple printer will show up. Whether the printer shows up in the Printer 
Setup Window depends on the drivers installed with the OS. There is an 
optional printer driver installer on the Panther install disk that you 
may have to try. It installs older stuff (like for my Epson 740).

Good luck - let us know what is happening.

& it said make sure appletalk is turned on.
So, when I go to sys prefs/network

select built-in ethernet
then select appletalk, I checked the box to
make appletalk active, but when I go
to setup a printer it still says
"unable to turn appletalk on
printer not available because appletalk not active.
To make appletalk active open network prefs
& click on the appletalk tab then select the
"make appletalk active" checkbox.
when I go back to that, it is selected!
I read online that OS X is installed
with appletalk deactivated.
& also that only one port can have it activated.
I have checked those things!
I am trying to use a Farallon
Ethernet iPrint adapter
so that I can still use my old
Apple LaserWriter 4/600ps.
Does anyone have a clue why Appletalk can't
be activated?
