I'm almost ashamed to ask this... I've been using my old Plus and the new IIsi together (phonenet'd) but 'cos the modem needed the modem port on the IIsi and AppleTalk was on the printer port, in order to print I moved a file over to the Plus, and printed on my even older ImageWriter I from there. It worked just fine, although had I needed to print more often it could have got tedious. I now /do/ need to print often, and as an ImageWriter I can't be shared (can it?) I disconnected the two Macs, and gave the IIsi the ImageWriter 1 (and the modem), leaving the Plus isolated. HOWEVER - the IIsi now keeps falling over: the oh-jeez-not-again 'processor not present' error. I took out SuperSpool, thinking it might be that; but no dice.... Please, O net gurus - can an ImageWriter 1 work with a IIsi? Am I missing something blindingly obvious, or is it sadly time to put the printer out to grass (don't want to do that; it works beautifully still)....? Any advice gratefully appreciated! - duncan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- duncan langford university of kent at canterbury, UK dl1@ukc.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't think of any reason an ImageWriter I would NOT work with a IIsi. It does, after all, use the same driver as the ImageWriter II. Have you tried replacing that driver? -- Matthew T.
