HP Printer driver for my Mac

General Discussion

I have a G3 biege desktop with 2 selectable OS’s installed, 9.2.2 and 10.2.8. My HP Laserjet 6P printer works OK when the computer is in the OS 10.2.8 mode, however,it prints garbage in the 9.2.2 mode. I have searched various websites but, so far, I have been unsuccessful in finding, downloading and installing a printer driver that supports at least the basic printing functions. Any recommendations?

uninstall flash memory stick

General Discussion

So far, from my Ibook I have been given instructions on how to uninstall a flash memory drive as I thought the Ibook does not need to be told to release it.

That method tells me to select from a pull down but the selection is not in the menu.

A relative who I emailed also gave me instructions to move the drive icon to the TRASH but I see no icon.

Does anybody have another method.

Problems with Appleworks: need a replacement for the spreadsheet application

General Discussion

Appleworks 6.2.9.running on a Power PC G5 under OSX 10.4.9 has developed problems. In spreadsheet application, changing any text in header causes Appleworks to quit. Restarting, deleting pref. files doesn’t fix. Any suggestions for cure? Any suggestions for replacement? We would prefer something low power rather then high power, such as XL. All comments welcome, Jim

PowerBook 12" for sale

General Discussion

I’m selling my old laptop on eBay. It’s a PowerBook G4 12” with an 867MHz processor and a 60GB hard disk.

Used PowerBook G4 12” 867Mhz. Custom ordered with 60GB disk and 640MB memory. Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme included.

Used like crazy since purchase, I am the original owner. Low battery life, otherwise fair condition.

Upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4. Original disks are included, however the original box is not.

Prefer to sell locally in South Bay Area, Northern California. Buyer would pick up from 95112.
