Subject: PRINTERS: Apple StyleWriter vs. HP DeskWriter
Keywords: Printers
Organization: Eastman Kodak
Distribution: all
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 92 16:05:07 GMT


I'm looking for a printer for my Mac LC II.  The laser
printers are too expensive, and the Ink Jet seems to
be the best quality for under $500.

I can get the Apple StyleWriter for $300, or the HP
DeskWriter for $400.

What's the difference between these printers?
Is the HP worth the extra $100?  I understand
the HP is slightly faster, but is it enough difference
for the money.

Is the print quality different between the two?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

So, I stopped in to apple com last night and picked up the new tuner.

I have been following the conversation about making minimal systems, 
loading the installation disk image into a RAMdisk, etc for a bit now;
I brought over the .hqx file that was not an image.  

Once I debinhexed and unstuffed it, I had an installer and I had a folder 
called tuneup items.  In the folder was the tuner, the stylewriter driver,
the chooser, and a couple of other things.  I booted off a floppy, 
checked my harddrive out, and just installed the items I wanted by hand,
since I hate using the installer, and I thought I would just see what happened.

When I do the about this Mac in the finder, I get told that I am using 
sys7 and I have the little bullet;  the chooser and stylewriter driver
seem to both work fine.  

Did I need to actually use the installer to get the tuneup installed?  
It seems that it installed fine by hand, but there has been such a long
conversation about using the installer that I am concerned that I might
have needed to use it for some opaque reason....

thanks!

I think the system gives you the option of loading an application
with less memory that it suggests only if you have a certain
percentage of the memory it needs. If it is less than that
percentage, it does not allow you to load it at all, so the
warning goes away.

The most recent version of RAMDisk+ (posted to GEnie) works with 32 bit mode
and file sharing turned on (but not with the RAM disk itself shared I believe).

Sorry, I don't remember the version number.

Opps - just checked the book and both the LaserWriter and LaserWriter Plus
have 1.5 Megs of RAM. The LaserWriter has .5 Meg of ROM and the LaserWriter

I kinda badgered Scott Boyd about 7.0 right after it was first released
with this concern.  Basically, I asked him if you could disable INITs,
then how could Apple release system extensions and how could third
party developers with drivers that are a part of extensions let the
user use the product when the driver won't get installed because they'll
be disabled also, right?

Not so, he said.  He smiled and said nothing more about this, especially
when I asked him how I could do this.  It's built into 7.0, and it's a
seceret.  Though nothing's seceret to someone proficient with MacsBug or
TMON.  :-)

I know nothing about UUCP newsreaders.  However, for mail, look at
uAccess, gnuucp, FernMail, and Eudora, described below.

The following are Internet-compatible mail solutions for Macintoshes.

COMMERCIAL

  TCP/Connect II (InterCon, kdb@intercon.com)
    Integrated mail/news/telnet/ftp/....  Works over MacTCP, own TCP, or 
    dialup (SLIP). Mail uses POP3 or POP2.

  uAccess (ICE Engineering, time@ice.com)
    UUCP package, includes mail/news/uucp.
    
  GatorMail (Cayman Systems, info@cayman.com)
    Gateways for Microsoft Mail and Quickmail.
  
  UMCP/Q, UMCP/M (Information Electronics, ?)
    Gateways for Microsoft Mail and QuickMail.
  
  Dispatcher (Intercon, kdb@intercon.com)
    Gateway for QuickMail

TokenWare

  MacMH (networking@jessica.stanford.edu)
    POP3 mail package.  Uses MacTCP.

ShareWare

  LeeMail ($10, laf@mitre.org)
    Pure SMTP mail program.  Uses MacTCP
  
  FernMail ($20, dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us)
    Mail program.  Works with UUPC, gnuucp or UUMac (an unreleased uupc port)


FreeWare

  MacPost (ftp.lu.se)
    Mail server that runs on a Macintosh, mail clients talk to server over
    AppleTalk.  Speaks SMTP to the internet.
    
  POPMail II (boombox.micro.umn.edu)
    POP2/POP3/SMTP mail package.  Uses MacTCP.

  TechMail (net-dist.mit.edu)
    POP3/SMTP mail package.  Uses MacTCP.  Compatible with Kerberos.

  MacPOP (ftp.cc.berkeley.edu)
    HyperCard-based POP3/SMTP mail package.  Uses MacTCP.

  Eudora (ftp.cso.uiuc.edu)
    POP3/SMTP mail package.  Uses MacTCP, dialup (Communications Toolbox) or
    UUPC (and probably gnuucp).
  
  UUPC (dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us)
    UUCP package.
  
  gnuucp (jim@fpr.com)
    UUCP package.  Includes mail program.

If an email address is listed, send inquiries to that address.  If a host
name is listed, use anonymous ftp.

(Authors:  if I've mangled or missed your product, contact, or ftp
site, please let me know.)

GLOSSARY

  POP - Post Office Protocol; your mail waits on a "big" computer
    until your Mac picks it up.
  POP2 - The old version of POP.
  POP3 - The new version of POP.
  SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol; how mail gets around the Internet.
    Requires the machines that talk it to be up most of the time.
  UUCP - Unix to Unix CoPy.  Dialup file transfer protocol; news and mail
    are normally layered on top of it.  Used by sites without Internet
    connections.
  MacTCP - Software that lets a Mac speak to the Internet.
  SLIP - Serial Line Internet Protocol.  Software that lets a Mac speak

This could be caused by one of two things.  The simpler case is that your FileSharing
is turned on.  System 7 won't let you change the volume name while FileSharing is on.
The second possibility is this bug that causes your volume to be "locked".  It's too
complicated to explain, but basically happens when your FileSharing is turned on, a
remote user running system 6.x logs on to your machine, and somehow the 6.x user 
ungracefully termintes the connection (i.e. turn Mac off without using shutdown, Mac
crashes, etc.).  I've written a small utility application call UnlockFolder that fixes
this problem.  It's a FreeWare and should be available from BBSs, AppleLink, or user
groups.  I can send it to you if you cannot find it anywhere.  Good luck.

I haven't had the F-Line intruction bombs, but I have noticed the

This was on a IIsi, running 7.0.1, with only After Dark Installed.

I am running exactely that set-up at this very moment, without ANY problems.
I have not experience an AS crash over any of the machines for the last
two month.  Something else must be at work.

This is working with 6.0.7 and 7.0.0 tuned up 1.0.  I would suggest that you 
reinstall your 6.0.7 system from afresh.  That is, make suitcases of your 
installed DA's and Font's, delete the system files, and reinstall from the
disks.  We have found that this process is required every couple of upgrades,
as the normal installer only patches the system files, rather than 
installing a fresh new version.


Hopes this helps
