Oh well .....
I just picked up one of these printers. Looks smart, came with s/w (version 1.0) and the users guide.
So I tried to use it with my Performa 6360 under OS 9.1 (yes, this is not very vintage but its the model I have at work at the moment). I hooked it to the modem port (com slot modem has been removed).
It works - in a fashion. I printed the desktop. I printed a .jpg picture (took ages!!) BUT I can't get the thing to print a SimpleText document. I keep getting "out of memory" messages. So I had it open and added a 4Mbyte SIMM (maxing it out at 5.5Mbyte!!). Still no good.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it broke or just a piece of cr*p? I have a LW IIg at home that even prints from my PB G4 under OSX (via ethernet). Can I use a bigger SIMM (like 16Mbyte)?
Would I have better luck with an OS 6 Mac?
Stupid thing!
I don't want to take it outside and shoot it, but ......
John.
