Hello everyone,
So I just did a fresh install of Mac OS 9.2 on my PowerBook G3. I plugged in a LaserWriter 360 I have got recently. I connected the serial cable and selected "Printer Port" in Chooser (even though the PowerBook only has one port) and selected the LW 300 driver. (I tried selecting LaserWriter 8 but it does not list any PostScript printers)
Well Mac OS 9 says it can't communicate to the printer. Everything is turned on, am I missing something? I didn't see any drivers to download online, from what I've read it should be installed in OS 9. Is the Chooser printer/driver I selected correct? Does the PowerBook need to have a piece of software change the serial port from printer to modem?
It's been a while and I can't remember on my own... thanks!
