There are two good sources of non-epson ink cartridges - Amazon (not the .com company) and Rhino. Both are available at a lot of the mail order houses incl. MacWarehouse and MacCon…

I have been told time and again to AVOID ink4art at ALL costs... they are very bad... don't deliever the goods, literally. Reliable resources such as ResExcellence and MacsOnly an…

Refilling only seems to work if the cartridge is used often. I've been very successful doing it on my HP fax machine. After using 40 plus cartridges my 700 just doesn't print like…

An Epson customer support tech once warned me not to use third-party ink refills since they clog the print heads (the ink is apparently much more syrupy). From personal experience,…

Epson isn't stupid. Like Gillette's classic tome, "we make our money selling blades, not by selling razors.." Epson kills you on ink. The cartridges are purposely difficult to ref…

In my experience Epson printers print mush higher quality color photos (especially when using photo paper). The trade off is that the ink mechanism is very sensitive to clogs. One …

My concern, in addition to all the ones mentioned already, is the fact that when refilling, it would be nearly impossible to put in exactly the right amount of ink, therefore messi…

I have a new Powerbook (bronze) 400 machine and I can't get my printer to work. It is an HP Deskjet 810C. It would freeze my system everytime I wanted to print before so I decided …

Does the PowerBook have MacOS 9 on it? If so, you need this driver for OS 9: http://www.hp.com./cposupport/printe...900en.hqx.html if HP error message stymies installation of d…

Thanks, I'l still working on it. However, I am running OS 8.6 Danoir

This might not help you since I tried this on desktop macs, but here goes. On several different machines when printing failed, I plugged the printer in the modem port and made the…

I want to configure ppp under system 7.1.x on my powerbook 150 (4MB Ram). Which version of TCP/IP or open transport will work, and where to get?

You will need to use MacTCP which is getting hard to find these days. Open Transport doesn't work on systems older than 7.5.3 If you can find an old copy of the book Macintosh Int…

Kritze, You can find MacTCP at: http://www.eden.com/~arena/jagshouse...internet.html. Scroll down the page a little. David

I'm thinking of getting a CD-R drive; what I had in mind is the LaCie 8x/20x model. Are there any other 8x burners I should consider also? Also, I need some advice in choosing CD…

Well, while it isn't an 8x drive, I have had very good experiences with Yamaha 4416 and 6416 drives (4x4x16 and 6x4x16, respectively). I found them to be unusually reliable. Of the…

If you have the room for an internal drive, get one of those and save some money. I was able to purchase Panasonic's 4x8x internal SCSI drive a year and a half ago for $299 (compar…

Our LaCie drive (based on an ugly Sony mechanism) had been messing up left and right lately, no matter what kind of media we used. Then we started using Memorex gold discs, and it'…

although they are kind of pricey, Yamaha media really works well. I have never (knock on wood) had a coaster with a Yamaha CD-R.

OK, I am trying to install OT 1.1.1 on an older Mac. I have all the files I need on a zip disk. When I go though the installation it asks for "Install 1", which is on the zip alo…

Each floppy has to be named exactly what it is asking for. Rename the floppy to Install 1 and all will be well. You can also create floppy images using Disk Copy that will work. …

I did that and I got the message, " although this is the correct name it is not the correct disk. Any thing else?

Hi, I still need some help here. As I mentioned, I did the rename of the floppy and it didn't work. More importantly, however, why didn't it just read the file of the zip, and h…

(sigh) i have had this problem, it has been a long time ago and was a different software package of course... let's see if i can recall. it is a disk image problem, the images on…
