Re: PowerMail/Epson conflict (RESOLVED!) :)
Matthias you have a port problem. The OS thinks the modem is connected to this port. How do you connect to the internet? Check your settings under Schedules. Check your connection settings. You're correct! See below... Don I reported a problem between PowerMail, Mac OS 9.1, and my Epson Stylus 740 to PowerMail Engineering back in May 2003 when we were still in 4.1.2, and also posted a note to the list about this issue a few months later. I _think_ I resolved the issue on my machine by making sure that Appletalk was not pointing to my Printer/Modem port, even when turned off. I don't recall having seen it under Mac OS 8.6 or 9.0.4. I've solved the problem, as per your help, by going into my AppleTalk control panel and making one adjustment. I never did understand what the deal with AppleTalk was about, probably because I've never set up a network. Somewhere along the line since installing OS 9.1 I must have inadvertently selected the wrong choice. What I don't understand is why everything worked fine until now, but now that I'm fully functional with PowerMail not triggering my printer anymore I'm happy as a clam! :) Thanks guys!

PB1400/133MHz; 64Mb RAM; MacOS 9.0.4; PM 4.2.1 -- Don V. Zahniser [EMAIL PROTECTED] A problem has arisen with a conflict between PowerMail and my Epson Stylus Color 600 printer. Any time PM is turned on my printer fails to function properly and I must do a factory reset (only achieved by turning off my computer, unplugging the serial cord to the printer, resetting, reconnecting and restarting). I have duplicated this malfunction in two ways: printer on first and then launching PM (resulting in the printing of 1/3 page of garbage) or PM on first and powering up the printer (resulting in printer power light flashing). Both cases necessitate a factory reset of the printer to enable functionality once again. Any Ideas?

As an additional query, could someone test print a PM email with v4.2.1 just to see what happens? It occurs to me that using a printer while doing email may not be a common occurence (I can't recall ever doing it, myself) and this would be a way to determine if it is, in reality, my printer driver or the problem exists within the 4.2.1 code.

I can't test now, as I've moved on to OSX and PM 5, but I started with PM back when I used OS9 and PM4 and I certainly printed while getting email. However, I don't have the same printer as you...
