PowerPrint Compatibility

Issue: Incompatible with certain printers under Mac OS 9

Solution: Must upgrade to PowerPrint 5.0 for certain printers under Mac OS 9

Details:
InfoWave's PowerPrint hardware/software combination product allows Mac users access to a plethora of PC-compatible printers by including a cable that goes from the Mac's serial or USB port (two separate products) to the printer's parallel port as well as printer drivers for a great many PC printers.

It may be necessary to upgrade the PowerPrint software to version 5.0 for use with Mac OS 9. When I checked InfoWave's Web site I found that, for example, HP's LaserJet 6L requires the upgrade but the HP LaserJet + does not.

Until 5.0 starts shipping in all InfoWave packages, it may be wise to check their Website for the specific Mac OS/printer combination the customer intends to use for this issue.
