Got my Laserjet 6L working
I have a dinosaur of a laser printer which I have had since I started getting serious with my PC, i.e. when I started writing my thesis (1993?). The printer is just fine and works like a charm on the PC, but it has one drawback: it only has a parallel printer interface. So it has never been able to speak with my latter-day macs at all.
When I ordered my Mac mini at Cyberport in February, I also ordered a Keyspan USB Parallel Printer Adapter to remedy this incompatibility and perhaps finally get the laserjet running. Unfortunately, it didn't work with Panther, the printer did not respond. Thought I wasted my money on this useless gadget.
But now using Tiger and the Gimp 5.0 beta driver, it works without further ado. Wonderful!
