New Printer Drivers: Newton Print Pack Version 2.0 includes two new printer drivers: Canon BJC and Epson Stylus. The Canon BJC printer driver is compatible with Canon BJC series inkjet printers.

Newton Print Pack version 2.0 uses a modified serial to parallel converter cable -- which does not have any embedded software. Installation of Newton Print Pack 2.0 software is performed via a Macintosh or Windows serial connection, using either the Newton Connection Utilities or Newton Backup Utility applications. Users who are obtaining Newton Print Pack 2.0 as a software-only upgrade to Newton Print Pack 1.0 can use the same serial to parallel converter cable that was originally packaged with Newton Print Pack 1.0. The version 1.0 cable will not overwrite your installed version 2.0 software, when you connect it to your Newton serial port. Customers who are obtaining Newton Print Pack 2.0 as a full software and hardware package will possess the modified serial to parallel converter cable -- which does not contain embedded software.
