Hi all, it's my first post. Hope you can help. I love enabling my mom to use her G4 with OS 9.2.2 and nineties era Microsoft Word, but her old printer died and we scored an All-in-One printer very cheap. When we got it home I realized, duh, there's no way in *heck* that the new Lexmark 9575 is going to have a driver for OS9. Works great with her windows machine though. I briefly flirted with using "Print Driver Utility" or some such beast to generate a Chooser device to direct LPT protocol print jobs toward a fixed IP address, but wasn't able to get it to work. Is this a viable tactic? Is there another solution?
Thanks for your brilliant and knowledgeable responses! Tim P.S. Upgrading to OSX is one possibility, but way outside the comfort zone of her writing workflow. It would probably be a Panther system, according to my research about how far to go with the hardware: G4 Sawtooth, 350MHz CPU / AGP / 320 MB RAM. -- ɯoɔ˙lıɐ�...@ssɐqxpd
