[G4] Could use some help.

Hi Christine,

For your printer, have you tried downloading GimpPrint?  Fixed my Epson
right up 
until they got around to updating their drivers.

HTH,

Jon

Hello G4 list...
I could sure use some help. I got one of the June '03 Dual Boot G4's and it
didn't
come with an OS 9 software disk or startup disk. Actually it didn't even
come with a
X software disk. It just came with one disk - a restore disk.
>From what I can tell all you can do is restore the software back to
original state
the computer was delivered in....(great!)
At the moment I am having to spend most of my time in OS 9 because my
printer won't
behave in X and  I can't afford to buy more new software right now.
I have tried to make a bootable OS 9 repair disk so that I can run my 9
utilities
(Norton Utilities, TechTool, Disk Warrior) but the disks I made won't boot.
I have
tried a few different approaches using Toast, and it is driving me crazy,
now.

ANY suggestions? Or... a website with definitive directions. There seem to
be many
different ways to make a bootable disk. Which one works?

(Another question in reference to the 10.2.8 update: At the risk of
sounding dumb -
what is the "combo" update?0

Thanks very much,
C.C.
