I have an Epson 1280 w/Epsonet Print Server attached hooked up through a small LAN, and set up for IP printing (with gimp). However, it takes at least 30 minutes to process a page with any postscript on it. I usually print through InDesign or Photoshop (sometimes Illustrator). On the othe hand...

I hope. In OS 9, it all works reasonably well. OSX has some major graphics memory overhead that eats lots of memory ad runs these programs like 3 legged dogs on my machine. Maybe I hook up the pocket firewire drive to a G5 at the Apple Store and test it from that. Wish me luck. Will report back...

Thanks Bob, I can do that with most of my software, although for some reason, anytime I've tried to install Photoshop, fresh from the updater disc (after a reformat), it asked for an old version to trace back to. I've owned PS since version 2.5, but don't have all the discs and not sure how...

Anyone know how well the G5 will do with Illustrator and InDesign? Apple is always showing Photoshop scores, but I've always noticed that my machine runs the 2 aforementioned programs very slowly in comparison when dealing complex [vector] gradients and transparency. Thanks in advance for the...

Sorry for the delay...away on vacation. Thanks for the help with this. Just can't wait to get the machine now.

Is it possible to use the 20" cinema display with a B&W G3 that has an ATI Radeon 7000? The card has a DVI port on the back, but wondering if any adapter such as Dr. Blot ADC to DVI, or anything similar would work. Any advice and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, J B&W G3...

Can anyone answer this for me - does an Epson 1280 need post-script software (stylus rip, gimp print, etc.) when running in Jaguar, or is there native PS support built into the system? I am currently using an Epson 1520 with stylus rip software through classic mode. It's a bit medieval, but...

Was wondering where I can find a hack to get the window shade of Classic in X. Any help is always greatly appreciated. J (eagerly anticipating the G5 with Panther).

Hi, I was waiting to get a G5, and in the meantime, trying to figure out the best way to copy over all of my files and preferences from my old G3 (B&W) to the new G5 without having to reinstall software, reconfigure prefs, etc. Anyone have any ideas that can simplify this process? Thanks, J

I had the same issue. I downloaded the latest GIMP Print and Ghost script drivers, and my 1520 seems to work pretty well. My only complaint (and it's not with the printer) is that printing in OS X is extremely slow with my rig (B&W upgraded to G4 400, 894 RAM). Waiting for G5 to ship with...

Toast recognizes my drive just fine. It just underruns at any speed. Even the firewire is slow to respond. Here is what tech support had written me about this issue. "Many of our customers have seen similar issues with their firewire drives on B&W G3 systems after upgrading to 10.2. It looks...

I have noticed that the firewire performance on my B&W G3 400 (recently up processor to G4 400) has been sluggish and slow to respond since I have upgraded from OS 9.2.2 to OS X.2 (and above). It wasn't too bad when using an external firewire hard drive (Maxtor 3000 DV), but rather when trying...
