Serial interface solutions other than the Keyspan / Tripp-Lite adapter are discussed in Related User Tips found in the Appendix but they require installing the necessary drivers discussed in the document, as a prerequisite.īefore proceeding with any installation, please read this entire User Tip including the disclaimers that appear at the end. Sections may also be adapted for the StyleWriter or other serial printers. It should also work for the original ImageWriter. It has been successfully tested and verified to work using an Apple ImageWriter II in OS X versions from OS X 10.2 "Jaguar" through OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" (see the Appendix regarding later macOS versions). This User Tip describes a method for installing an Apple ImageWriter and similar serial printers on Macs that no longer support AppleTalk, using a Keyspan / Tripp-Lite USA-28x (-28xa, -28xb, -28xg) USB to serial converter, open source drivers from The Linux Foundation, and the standard OS X CUPS interface.
