The Mac isn't trying to change EEPROM parameters; it's trying to make persistent changes to the system dictionary. All of your options are unpleasant; the least unpleasant is to set the ScripTEN's password to 0, which is what the Mac thinks it will be. (The others all involve modifying the printer drivers on all the Macs.) The Mac is downloading the Macintosh dictionaries to the printer, which takes a while; it tries to do it persistently to save the time on future print jobs. Elizabeth Zwicky zwicky@erg.sri.com
