Q: LSW Select 360 prints via Airport and Lion?
Hi all –
Currently printing with my LSW Select 360 out of my Powerbook running OS 10.6.8. The set-up is LSW connected to my G5 tower running OS 10.5.8, which is connected to an Airport Extreme – and then to the Powerbook. Just turn on the printer and wake up the G5 from it's permanent slumber and it works great.
Here's the question, I'm considering upgrading to Lion but am concerned I'll lose the ability to print from my LSW. Will my Powerbook be able to communicate to the 10.5.8 G5 via Airport so I can print?
Hmmmm…?
2.53 GHZ Intel Core i5, Mac OS X (10.6.5), 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5

Thanks John. I haven't tried disconnecting from the G5, but I'll give that a shot. Seems like such a shame. I've had that tower for so long and it was such a great "old faithful".
I don't do a lot of printing from the LSW 360, but it keeps on working and I'm not one of those to discard old equipment if I can still use it.
My concern was that I had read (somewhere) that there would be issues upgrading past 10.68 to the new operating system. Seems whenever I ask someone at the Apple store about an issue with this printer (that may be as old as them), they just look at me blankly.
And yes, I am using a MacBook. : )
Thanks again. Sandra
