    Apple Laserwriter pro drivers.

    Newer mac OS15 won't load driver for printer.
    Printer is 16 years old, but cust. won't buy new.
    Any apple-heads know how to solve this?
    Why do they call it common sense?

    If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

      They use it mostly for printing envelopes, so I don't know if a generic will support it.

        see if it will run on a HP 5 driver. You can still download that one from hp.com
        Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

          Evidently snow leopard doesn't have Appletalk.
          I told customer to try Paralell to usb interface and see if it communicates.
          Thanks for the input.
