- MBP 2009 5,3 OS10.11 + iMac2017 18,3 OS 10.13.6 + G4 Powerbook 2001 OS9.2 & 10.4.11
I have a G4 PowerBook 17" last model 5,7 bought specially to use a Classic Prog under OS10.4 (to replace a previous one I used for years and stupidly got rid of)
The OS9 prog runs fine in itself (Microstation SE 1998), but in order to create a plot file to print, it needs to recognise the Printer, which is Epson stylus P50. The printer works fine for OSX progs.
Epson give hints it may be possible to install stuff eg colour profiles for OS9 it in the System Folder, but not a driver
Is it possible to cobble something from the OSX drivers and if so where would I copy/install it
I think Microstation would be happy with a generic driver of the right vintage. It worked OK with my previous printer, Canon P4000; it just needs a Classic Print Box
