Thank you for responding given your domestic circumstances. I hope the hip procedure was a success and that care during convalescence gives a 100% result.

I am running OSX 10.4.11 on an iBook.
Connected to the iBook is an OKIPAGE 8 printer which is functioning.
In System Profiler it says the printer driver is 1.1.0

Which model  of   OKIPAGE 8  ?

It is an LED USB Laser printer circa 2000.


Presumably it is connected by USB ! ?

Why are you looking for a new driver  ?  ( You said it is functioning ! ? )

The printer is plugged into my wife's iBook which is running on OSX 10.4.11 and I share the use of it on my intel iMac running OSX 11.5.7. I can print from my iMac but I can't access the functions of the printer.


I thought a more recent driver on the iBook might at least allow me to choose the print resolution.

Cups has some drivers for OKIpage

One of those may give you the choices you are looking for

The Cups drivers are available in 10.5.6 and if they are not supplied in Tiger

you should be able to find and download what you need from here : -
