TWIMC, I have an Epson Photo Stylus EX printer which I want to attach to a 10baseT network. I'm looking at using a print server, attached to the EX's parallel port, to make it available on the LAN. Epson markets the Epson Axis 1440 print server in the USA *ONLY* for exactly this purpose. Web shops in the USA will not accept Visa cards outside the USA. I got sucked in to contacting Intelligent Technologies here, their web site <http://www.intelligent.com> boasting that their "Intelligent Mini+" print server will work with: "virtually any printer with a parallel port" ...and supports MacOS. They confirmed personally that it will work with a EX under MacOS. It doesn't. Apparently these twits think that "virtually any printer with a parallel port" means "postscript printers only" (nowhere on the site, or in the manual is postscript explicity mentioned!). I'm giving them a chance to redeem their stupidity before I <major-proctology-required> them with their worthless print server. Anybody out there with a *real* solution? cya Craig. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Craig McFarlane randomj@ozemail.com.au Delaney & Morgan Computing Fax: +61 3 9878-3910 ACN 058 140 702 PO Box 84 Forest Hill Vic 3131 AUSTRALIA "My opinions had better be those of the management, or they're FIRED!" ========================================================================
