Print66 - LocalTalk, Serial and USB support
Authored by: freshmikeb on Nov 20, '02 08:12:33PM

I've been using Print66 (a freeware lp daemon) with ease on a PowerMac 8100/80 under OS 9.1 with a Personal LaserWriter 320 connected to the printer port (AppleTalk). I use the 8100/80 as a print server on my home network and send print jobs to it via ethernet from my OSX boxes using IP Printing. No special set-up or software required on the OSX boxes.

Print66 also supports serial printers (ImageWriter II anyone?) and USB printers though I have not tested these set-ups. Give it a shot with your Personal Laserwriter 300.

Runs under OS 7-9.

This little program saved my LW320 and 8100/80 from the junkpile.
