After several days of trying, I FINALLY have my ole' Stylewriter 1200 printing from OSX, via the good old printer port (serial). I found several web sites that describe this setup, but all seem to be from people who are to geeky to realize what giving good directions entails... I never could get it to work with just there driections. It also entailed a little mucking about in the console. Basically, it consists of using Ghostscript to render images and then pushing them to the serial port using a special "method" called serial. The printer is configured through the CUPS web interface (ie http://localhost:631). I am going to try and do a clean install, and see how hard it is to duplicate.... In the meantime... This is the basic. 1) Install ghostscript. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/espgs/espgs-7.05.5-0.ppc.dmg?download 2) search allosx.com for stylewriter. Pay special attention to the link to some other guy's efforts. 3) Try also http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/ 4)I think I used the foomatic link at the bottom of #3 More later. Marty |
