Trash80toG-4 NIGHT STALKER USA 2899 Posts	Posted - 23 Oct 2002 : 19:11:34 I just pulled a Laserwriter Select 360 out of a garbage bin and humped it down the hill to the shop . . . . . . it freakin' WORKS! jt ™. Trash Hauler: call sign: eight-ball C.O. AC-130H SpecOps 68kMLAAF p.s. Does anybody know if there is a built in Win 98 driver for this puppy? It works great with the LW8 driver out of 9.1 over Appletalk, but the kid'll need to print from my K6 box as well as his 6290 media hub. Edited by - Trash80toG-4 on 23 Oct 2002 19:35:56

Nope, it's the high end of the LW Select series w/600DPI, Postscript Level 2, PCL(?) and it's got Appletalk, Serial and Parallel Ports. The only thing missing seems to be Ethernet, which won't be an issue. It'll be perfect for the rug rat to use as a dual platform printer. I even have a little SohoWare Print Server that should work to run it off ethernet from the PC so he won't need to keep it in his room. jt ™. Trash Hauler: call sign: eight-ball C.O.

Marchie Chaplain USA 911 Posts	Posted - 24 Oct 2002 : 22:16:25 PCL is a preinter language used by HP. It's what the DeskJet/DeskWriter series uses. ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Admin of The WonderLAN ~~"We are all Mad here"~~
Marchie Chaplain USA 911 Posts	Posted - 24 Oct 2002 : 22:28:38 I have an embarrassing number of printers... our original HP DeskWriter we bought with the SE still works... after I clean all the ink gunk off the logic board anyways... cracked a ink cart. I have an ImageWriter II and another for parts. an HP LJ6MP that needs a good cleaning and something unstuck from the rollers. Personal Laserwriter NT that needs naught but a toner refill Personal LW 300 (the cheap one that only has serial port and speaks ASCII or something) Epson Stylus Colour 600 (Works perfect... but it's too damn loud) brand new HP DJ 825 DeskWriter 320 and DeskJet 340 for w/ Newton 5 LW II printers, ready to be worked on to make at least one useable. ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Admin of The WonderLAN ~~"We are all Mad here"~~ edit: misnamed the Person LW 300 as a LW Select 300 Edited by - marchie on 24 Oct 2002 22:42:30

We've only got a few printers around here: HP Desjet 1600CM (networked, maxed on RAM) Epson Stylus 850NE (networked) Epson Stylus 880 Stylewriter II HP OfficeJet G85 I tend to give laser printer finds away, as I don't like the ozone generated by 'em. The 1600CM is an amazing workhorse, it never breaks... Thog save over 30 68k macs! Thog good boy!

Slomac636 Junior Member USA 103 Posts	Posted - 04 Nov 2002 : 16:50:54 I have a few too, but Mac printers are harder to come by where I live: Mac: * IW II * StyleWriter II * Color StyleWriter 1500 PC: * HP LaserJet 5L * Canon BJ-200 I've been trying to find a laser printer for my Macs, but that hasn't happened yet, nice find, I wish I could come up with something like that.

The Lightning Stalker Full Member USA 747 Posts	Posted - 10 Nov 2002 : 00:30:08 Oooo Plotter! Great find! The trash never fails to provide an interesting supply of computer parts. I don't have any Apple LaserWriters, but I do have a couple HP LaserJets that my Macs can probably use. Some interesting stories behind some of them, too. Okay, brace yourselves: Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4050 somebody was asking like $75 at a garage sale. Brand spanking new (was sitting for a year). It had the original toner cartridge with an 'unpopped cherry'. They had won it in an office raffle and it was just sitting around in their house because they didn't have a computer. It makes you wonder about some people with the Macs so easy to use and all. Anyway, I'm poor (cheap) and passed up on the offer that day hopeing it wouldn't sell and I could come back the next day and get it cheaper. So I bite my fingernails that night in bed and go back the day after the sale and talk her husband down to $25. SOLD! You'll see the 4050s everywhere like in hospitals, behind service desks in supermarkets, or in banks because they're so good. It's PCL 6 and PostScript and gets 1200dpi in best quality mode, has RAM upgrade slots, a spot for a JetDirect print server card (wish I had one of those). The only thing this baby can't do is print in color. My other printers: Lexmark z13 for photos and stuff (got it on sale) Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4P (needs a new transistor on the door sensor board) $10 at a garage sale A pair of HP DeskJet 500's (B&W) I pulled out of the garbage (gave one to my dad) Apple ImageWriter or two, Sometimes I actually turn it on so I can hear That Sound Lots of coils/transistors/ic's/resistors/capacitors/LEDs/stepper motors/etc. from other printers that weren't so lucky.
