TOPIC


    I added the LocalTalk module to my Color StyleWriter 2400 printer, and there was no additional software with the LocalTalk module. Do I need a new printer driver for the LocalTalk option?

DISCUSSION


    Because the Color StyleWriter 2400 printer software supports both serial and LocalTalk, no additional printer driver is required.

    When you select Color SW 2400 icon in the chooser, the chooser displays available serial ports (printer, modem, or printer/modem) and all networked Color Stylewriter 2400 class printers. This includes the Color StyleWriter 2400 with the localtalk module installed, or GrayShare Color StyleWriter 2200, which are using GrayShare.

    All versions of the Color StyleWriter 2400 driver work with all types of networked StyleWriter printers mentioned previously. However, Apple recommends upgrading to version 2.1 or greater of the Color StyleWriter 2400 printer driver. Use the latest version of the Color StyleWriter 2400 printer driver. The article titled "Apple Printers: Printer Drivers & Cables" lists the latest driver versions.
