[G4] G4 upgrades on a beige G3 - scsi and printer help?

[Jim Morris]

I followed this advice as I can't print to my old Stylus 600 now that 
I've upgraded from OS 9. This printer has been accessed through a USB 
hub for several years. After installing Ghostprint and Giimp-print, I 
can now add the 600 to the printer list and select it. Tried a test 
page out of Word X but, instead of printing the page, it starts 
churning out pages of what I guess is program code (%!PS-Adobe-3.0, 
%RBINumCopies, etc).

Any suggestions for me?
Thanks,
Jim Morris
