This allows Windows to share out printers to Unix machines as an LPD printer server. Check here for purchasing OS X:Īs far as getting the Mac to print to that Lexmark which will now be connected to a PC, there's an option in Windows to install Windows Services for Unix (or something like that). Don't bother asking about downloading since it's against the board rules here. But that still doesn't change anything.Īs for the OS install discs, the only options you have are to continue contacting this seller to get the discs that came with that Mac or you could purchase the OS X retail installation discs. My mistake, I meant to say iMac G5.my finger went in the wrong direction. Just quit venting and help us find a solution for you that will work. And yes, all of them can get on the Internet. All of them can print to the printers (HP, since my experience tells me they work on all three platforms) and all of them can file share (for the most part.the Quadra only talks to the Linux box through netatalk and the iMac). Both the iMac and the Windows box are wireless. I have a Linksys WRT54G and I have my iMac G4 running OS X 10.4.6, my Quadra 650 running System 7.6.1, my Linux PC running Slackware, and my Windows box all connected to it.

There are NO drivers for XP for this card, and it managed to BSOD my XP machine. ![]() Mind you, this was a card that was solely supported under Windows 98. It's Lexmark's decision to support whoever they want.īTW, as far as support for hardware, consider that I had a NetTV-98 card that worked fine under Linux. You should have asked anywhere before you bought it. Again, WHO IS TO BLAME? You ASSUMED that it would work. ![]()
