Mac IIfx printer port dies

68kMLA OS 8 2 posts Jan 24, 2008 to Jan 24, 2008
My IIfx has the printer port go down after it has been on for several minutes. The modem port is unaffected. Is it likely a motherboard problem? Is there a way to use the modem port to print? My powerbook 540c with system 8 has that option, but is system 7.01 on the IIfx I don't see it. [?]

I remember in the chooser, when you click on the printer, there's sometimes a set of radio buttons for Printer or Modem, or sometimes there's two icons, one is a phone and the other one is a printer, and you click the one you want. Maybe the IIfx has an old driver; copy the driver from the PowerBook to the IIfx and try again.
