My mom has a Performa 6200 CD. Uncertain of the processor speed. Started out OS 7, base ROM & HD RAM - upgraded ROM, RAM and OS. Now OS 8.6. Think the HD is 6 gig. Apps are ClarisWorks & Quicken.
Her printer - StyleWriter 1200 - is dying. I want to replace her SW with a new Mac compatible printer (her BD's coming up) . Two probs - new printers are USB and are Mac OS X. HELP!!!
Performa-OTHER, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier
Does she have the computer on a home network? If so a PostScript-capable laser printer is the perfect choice for these machines.
Forgot to mention that her Mac is a stand-alone. No Internet connectivity. Her desire.
Where are you geographically? I know where some Epson Stylus Color 740s are. I could send you one for the cost of shipping if you want but it would be after next Saturday.
I could copy the drivers to a floppy disk or CD and include them with the printer. That would be a non-issue.
I recommend checking with http://www.welovemacs.com/ they are known to carry many old Apple compatible parts. The other place is the resources on http://www.lowendmac.com/
Thank you for the sites - I'll check them out.
Sorry, Jan. Never noticed the link Jeff sent. I didn't know I could slow the burn speed. I have no clue how to do that - or if I can.

Here's an interesting article from HP's web site concerning toner cartridges and their wear during normal usage.
I now have a pair of Epson Stylus 740s in my possession. Email me at ryan42@mac.com
Not sure if you saw my other post, but I have the droids that you're looking for. Email me at ryan42@mac.com

I'm trying to track down a working Stylus 740 Color printer. If you know someone who has one, please let me know.
...I have one. See above?
I did indeed notice it. Replied to your e-add. Didn't get it, hmm? I'll resend - expect a note from my gmail acct.

How do I tell the Apple community that my Q has been Answered? The HP forum has a Solved checkbox.
I want to purchase a current printer for an old Mac.
