| Is it possible to use a stylewriter 1200 on a "modern" version of macOS | |
| Posted by: civil35 on 2023-02-05 14:30:56 Is it possible to use a stylewriter 1200 on macos 10.13? I've though about using a macos 10.6 emulator and using a program called foomatic but dk if it'll work yet. | |
| Posted by: Chopsticks on 2023-02-09 16:39:33 your best bet is probably to try using the CUPS driver, I haven't used myself since probably around OS X 10.6 era, but I had an old laser writer I used to use this way with no issues. obviously that was many years ago and was a lifetime ago in terms on Mac OS X changes, however as far as I can see the CUPS driver still works on modern Macs.

also these links might be help (outdated by might has some useful info?) Driver: lpstyl | OpenPrinting - The Linux Foundation

one thing to be mindful though is that if you are using a usb to serial adaptor you probably need one that used a RS-422 connection.. supposedly CUPS will work with Network printers too, but I've never tested that function | |
