ImageWriter II and MacHTTP
Posted by: Gil on 2008-12-30 11:38:06
I'm not sure where exactly to post this, since it deals with both peripherals and software. Anyways, I've got a Mac set up right now with MacHTTP. I thought that a good way to put my ImageWriter II to good use would be to configure it so that the MacHTTP log file would print out everytime there is a new entry. That is, it would print the new entry, not the entire log file everytime their was a change. Is this even possible?

Sure, there are a number of C compilers available for the classic mac including MPW. Once you have a C compiler, anything is possible. 😉

If only I was code-savvy. 🙁

Maybe you could do it with AppleScript...?

You need to use the ImageWriter without QuickDraw, just using it as an ASCII Serial Line Printer.

How would I do that?
