Printer repair for OSX

2004-10-14 by Roger Smith

James,

Thanks so much for this link!  I sure have needed it as I have been 
doing all my printing in 9.2 since installing OSX 10.3 a few months 
ago.  I could never get the printer utilities to open, never clean 
nozzles or check alignment.  I also can't figure out how to set the dpi 
on the printer.  Perhaps this software will fix my problem - I just got 
sick of trying to figure it out (nothing should be this convoluted for 
the consumer) and no one I talked to had any of the answers - sure 
didn't expect to see one on this list.  Hope this fix works would like 
to print out of 10.3 and quite having to restart in 9.2.  Sorry to all 
you PC people for having to put up with all of this!  Thanks again.

Roger Smith - E. Lansing, MI 48823
