I have the older PaperPort Vx -- the one that uses the serial port rather than SCSI. I actually prefer the serial port, since I'm using the Vx with my PowerBook; SCSI would require…

I have had problems with the Visioneer PapaerPort VX in OS 9 as the control panel does not load.With the Paperport Deluxe software, however, I have found that I can open the applic…

Unfortunately PaperPort Deluxe is not an option for me -- it requires the SCSI version of the Vx. I have the serial port version. I actually prefer using the serial port because I …

this is from MacInTouch: "able to get my Paperport vx to work by turning off the ATM control panel and then restarting"

OK, I was able to get something to work with my Strobe and Deluxe 5.1. First, launch PaperPort Desktop AND Paperport Link Bar. Second, holding down the option and command keys, d…

Turning off ATM didn't help for me; neither did holding down command and option when opening the PaperPort CDEV. I even tried doing a clean install of MacOS 9, followed by installi…

If you want to save your PaperPort from extinction as you move up to Mac OS 9 and beyond, you want to join or at least visit the PaperPort Preservation Society http://clubs.yahoo.c…

i gotta new imac DV and my printer won't work! installed the drivers just like i did on my old imac/266 (which worked fine), but when i try to print, i get a sys error -192 . i'…

I was hoping to be able to use my old style writer 2 with my new imac. Is this possible? I didn't see a style writer icon in the chooser and would need some sort of adapter to conn…

I believe that someone was selling an adapter that went from Stylewriter to Ethernet. I'll look for it, just wanted you to know that it was possible... I found it! Farallon makes…

I have set up two original imac's to use Stylewriter II printers using Keyspan's USB to serial adaptors. If you're crunched for desktop space, the stylewriters can do very nicely, …

If you still have an old serial port Mac, connect the Stylewriter to the old Mac, and the two Macs together by ethernet. I did this with an iMac, and LC and a Stylewriter II. Works…

Hey SteveH, Your suggestion sounds like the best option for me. I have a Performa 430 which is based on an LC II. Can you tell me how to connect it to my new iMac as you have done …

you'd need an ethernet card for that 430, it has no enet built-in... PDS comm slot enet card, farallon makes a 10/BaseT for about $60-70 new, maybe you can find one used... then a…

Wow. I LOVED my old StyleWriter II. When I sold my G3 beige minitower and bought a B&W G3 I sold my SWII and got a Epson 740i -- and I LOVE IT MORE! Really, you're doing yours…

I just read about this at maccentral. Anyone know where I can get one??? Mike

as noted on MacNN yesterday (in the sony announcement) , they are not due until November. see http://www.macnn.com/recent.shtml

when I try to print I get a message that says the cartridge was not installed properly. Re-install cartridge correctly. I've re-installed the cartridge numberous times but can't p…

It may be that you have touched part of the cartridge that doesn't like to be touched... (reminds me of the old r'n r band, the Tubes, they had a song titled "Don't touch me there…

In desperate need of extra drive space I shelled out a pretty penny for a 9GB external LaCie drive in a d2 case. Performancewise its alright. No problems. But the noise this thi…

First you must determine whether it is the drive or the fan that is making the noise: if it is the former, putting the drive to sleep will help, if it is the latter, then you might…

Its most definitely the drive. When I get up close to it I can hear 2 distinct sounds - the drive spinning and the fan. The fan noise is not bad but the drive has this constant d…

I got an email from a helpful user. He suggests placing the drive in a larger drive casing or piece of furniture with bubble wrap or styrofoam egg carton in between the two. Does…

Try taking the case apart and putting rubber washers between the the case and the hard drive. You might have to get longer screws. That will help isolate the drive from the soundin…

This is what I have done. Works very well for anyone interested. I cut out the back section of my desk which lies behind one of my drawers and removed the back end of the drawer.…
