TOPIC

    This article describes the compatibility of Infowave's PowerPrint USB with Mac OS 9.


DISCUSSION

    Infowave's PowerPrint USB enables USB-equipped computers "to print to over 1600 PC-compatible printers," including the Apple Portable StyleWriter. This is accomplished by using Infowave's printer software and USB-parallel adapter cable, sometimes referred to as a dongle.

    PowerPrint 5.0 includes support for Mac OS 9.

    PowerPrint 4.5.7 may work with Mac OS 9 with some printers after the PowerPrint USBPrintDriver file is removed from the Extensions folder, the Macintosh is restarted, and the printer is reselected in the Chooser.

    Versions 4.5.4 and 4.5.5 of PowerPrint USB are not compatible with Mac OS 9.

    Note: Infowave distributes other printing solutions including "PowerPrint Serial to Parallel" and "PowerPrint for Networks." Apple is not aware of incompatibilities with these products.
