Okay, I imagine you all are weary with this thread, so here's my last shot on it. at Alex's urging, I went to <http://e1s.de/panther/gimp-print.html> and followed the instructions carefully, but my printer still is not recognized. I also upgraded the Keyspan driver to OS X, but not only did that not help, I couldn't even print when I rebooted to 9. I had to trash it and reinstall the original driver. So here I am, operating back in 9.1. I suppose the fact that the printer uses a serial cable and goes to a USB adapter is the main problem. I have slim hope that I will avoid buying a new printer (one of the many hidden costs of upgrading to a new OS--and I suppose the same thing will be true of my SCSI Umax scanner). So, am I outa luck here? Alan -- _______________ Alan/Linda Bell Grandville, MI
