ImageWriter II and MacHTTP

#1 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 - 19:38

I'm not sure where exactly to post this, since it deals with both peripherals and software. Anyways, I've got a Mac set up right now with MacHTTP. I thought that a good way to put my ImageWriter II to good use would be to configure it so that the MacHTTP log file would print out everytime there is a new entry. That is, it would print the new entry, not the entire log file everytime their was a change. Is this even possible?

Is this even possible?

Sure, there are a number of C compilers available for the classic mac including MPW. Once you have a C compiler, anything is possible.

If only I was code-savvy.

Maybe you could do it with AppleScript...?

You need to use the ImageWriter without QuickDraw, just using it as an ASCII Serial Line Printer.

How would I do that?

I'm gonna look into AppleScript. :beige:
