I've been using an Epson Color 880 via a generic USB card with zero problems except that it's a little pricey for ink, so I'd like to cut costs.

I have the same Epson, ink is expensive and I use it only when I have too!

A friend gave me an old HP Laserjet 4m and a Farallon Etherwave Print Adapter.� I can't find any manuals for either, but the Laserjet works fine from OS 9.1 using the Appletalk JetDirect card and printer port. I read that the printer port doesn't work in 10.2, and I've tried, but none of the software configuration buttons are highlighted, so I guess the printer port doesn't load or work?

I have a HP LaserJet 6mp and I print as a USB device under Print Center because I had issues
early on in 10 with no driver support, I use a "USB to Parallel" cable and is now supported in 10.2.

My question is: Since 10.2 says it supports the LaserJet 4, and I have installed the HP drivers from the 10.2 disk, will I still need Gimp Print & Ghostscript ? (the LJ 4 is a Postscript level 2 that is supported in OS X 10.2). Is the Etherwave a good idea, or should I try to get an HP JetDirect ethernet card for the printer?� What is the default IP address for the Etherwave, and will it need special configuration off a DHCP router?

Is this printer being shared via router if so...In print center you should have a "IP" designation
to print thats it or GIMP. This 4m is a B&W correct?

Also, the memory is only 6mb in the LJ 4, will more memory be worthwhile

you could but what for?  What are you sending to it?  Phillip Meza
