I am sure this must have come up before, but I missed it.
Using EtherTalk (3COM EtherLink board) on a IIcx I have found that I
cannot use the printer port for my ImageWriter and have AppleTalk up at
the same time. Whenever I choose "ImageWriter" from the chooser the
system turns off AppleTalk (including "EtherTalk"), hello printer,
good-bye network.
I could get an AppleTalk board for the ImageWriter, but I do not have
LocalTalk in my office. Of course, if I could run both LocalTalk and
EtherTalk at the same time I could then connect the "AppleTalk'ed"
ImageWriter to the cx "LocalTalk" (aka printer) port).
Does anyone have a utility to "free-up" the printer port when using
"ETherTalk" or ????

You should put the non-appletalk imagewriter driver into your system folder so it will show up on your chooser. -- Hock-Koon Lim, Information Network services Case Western Reserve University; Cleveland, Ohio, USA 44106 (216) 368-2982 lim@ins.cwru.edu
