Microspot Backgrounder & MacPalette II Error

[Concorde1993]

Thanks to @GameMan370, I now have working color ribbons for my IW II.

However, I’m having a problem with the MacPalette II driver. After I print a full color document, if I decide to print a second document (or another copy of the previous document), I get an error from Microspot Backgrounder telling me that the “Selected Port is in use by another application” and the IW II does nothing.

I have my IW II connected to my B&W G3 using a Keyspan USA-28 adapter. I am using the printer port in Chooser (serial port option does nothing). AppleTalk is disabled. Currently running OS 9.2.1

Hi,

Never heard of this alternate driver; what benefits does it provide over the stock IW driver? As it's pretty early late OS 6/early OS 7 software it might be an incompatibility here over anything else - try it on an older Mac perhaps without Keyspan bridge running < OS 7.6
