Sorry if this has been posted on the cube site message boards- I read (somewhere) appletalk will slowly be phased out in favor of the other forms of connectivity (TCP/IP, rendezvous, etc). Apple's site lists the HP5000 & Apple 8500 as still being compatible w/Pather, the Epson SylusColor 3000 is not listed. A new driver for the StylusColor 3000 (1 month old) uses "Epson Appletalk" to communicate and is listed as compatible on Epsons' site- Anyone having difficulty w/printers in Panther? Read a few comments from some posts regarding needing to restart to have the printer recognised in X.3 Thanks, Rod
