A little help please
Authored by: stevep on May 03, '02 04:29:45PM

I have a pismo laptop w/partitions for 9 and X. It is used primarily on wireless (Airport) ennironment.
I did all this from the OS X environment:
1 Go to Appletalk Control Panel on 9, set to proper ethertalk for normal operation. (port 1 for airport card.
2 Go to chooser and make sure printer is selected in normal manner. If you can't see printer, re-set Appletalk for other ethernet port until you can see printer in chooser.
3 Install Reader on OS 9 Partion and using 'get info' you should be able set the 'Open in Classic' option.
4 Back to 10 environment, find any PDF document and using 'get info' and "Open with Application", navigate to READER on OS 9 that you just modified. Don't use listed programs as you may have several different with same name.
5 Now anything you want to send to the printer you will select PREVIEW and you should notice the rainbow apple in upper left corner and you will be able to print to previously selected printer.

I've had this laptop for 1 1/2 years with out being able to print at home. I'm using an HP 870CSE with a appletalk to ethernet converter and also have an Epson color Printer shared off a iMac and can now print from my laptop to either!!!!!!! Believe me, I've tried every trick in the world to be able to do this. BTW, make sure that you have the driver for the Classic printer and are able to print from that environment. Reboot into OS 9 to verify. WOW
