Roy, Still having the problem. Is there a way to back out the USB patch from Panther? It appears that it's making it impossible for me to print to my Lexjet laser printer. Thanks, Jim

Jim, I think you should contact Roy directly. I remember he posted what file was switched, but I can't find it, even with the Yahoo search engine. "jamesdsteele2001"wrote:

John, My very first email was to Roy directly. I haven't gotten a response. That's why I posted there. Jimm --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "John Vitollo" <jvlist@c...> wrote: > Jim, > > I think you should contact Roy directly. I remember he posted what file was switched, but I

Didn't Roy say he would be away recently? Guy --- John Vitollo <jvlist@...> wrote: > Jim, > > I think you should contact Roy directly.

It's strange that it would make them fail since they were also available in Jaguar, but it's hard to tell for sure. Anyway the file changed was: /usr/libexec/cups/backend/usb The patch just took this file from Jaguar and replaced the Panther one. Unfortunately I'm away from home but I'll try to get a copy of the standard Panther file so I can get that to you. Roy

I.e. you may not need to back out the patch -- it may be just that you have to re-add the printer in Printer Setup. But in any case, Jim, I got a panther usb for backing out the patch. It on my website at: www.harrington.com/unusb.zip It works similarly to the patch, just run un-usb-patch.command. Roy

Roy, Many thanks. I reinstalled stuff, deleted preferences, repaired hard drives, etc. Nothing worked. Very strange. I'm probably going to upgrade to Tiger in the next few weeks and that may solve everything. OTOH, it may create the unforeseen! ;-) Thanks again.
