It's been nearly 1200 posts since I've trolled Tech. Please forgive the not paying attention...

Lame Mac Q: I'm working on my trusty eMac with OS 10.1.5 (yes,yes,yes...still haven't done the upgrade) and OS 9.2.

I've got an HP Officejet4215xi USBed and it works peachy in OSX but in the 'classic' environment (Word, to be specific), I can't find the printer in the Chooser, despite having downloaded and reinstalled the drivers.

I'm assuming it is possible to print from both environments but am flummoxed about getting them to work togther.

Ideas?

All is well that ends in pizza.

You may have to install the drivers in Classic mode again.

Thanks Dan. That is the driver I used, but (duh) I installed it with classic open on the OSX desktop. Der. I'll redo it when I get home this afternoon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, I just installed a weaknees new hard disk in my Tivo and man, that wasn't a problem at all. It didn't even take the 30 minutes that they estimated.

If I only had a brain...

I think that's one of the best pieces of technical documentation I've ever seen.

You aren't wrong. They did a nice job.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Advanced iPod cassette adapter -- allows your tape deck controls to control the iPod, a little. Which is cool. If you have the right iPod.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, that's cool. 'Cause we haven't had great luck with the FM adapters.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The stereo (and it has a cd player, not a tape deck, so I can't use the adapter) in my new van is a little wonky. Like, it stopped when I went over a bump once. And I don't mean a disc skipped; I mean, the radio stopped playing momentarily. And I don't mean in a moment, I mean for a moment.

Anyway. So I'm thinking about replacing it when I work up the jack, and I think I want to get an Aiwa, because those tend to have 1/8th inch auxiliary jacks, so I could plug my player straight into the system instead of diddling around with transmitters and adapters.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Now, when I've traded up to a car with a CD player, they come out with a better cassette adapter. Le Sigh
