Thanks for your advice Chris. I'll mess with expose and the mouse settings now that I know what they do. I'm just not into computers/gadgets so I get absolutely no pleasure out of sitting at the computer and teaching myself this stuff. Especially since I spend most of my work day on a computer (PC).

you'll probably just need a firmware update for the printer and you'll be back in action.

my dad bought home an apple 128k when i was 5 years old (1984). i used to squiggle around in mac paint for hours on that baby and a little over 10 years later i began taking it more seriously and ended up studying graphic art on a newly released power mac 5400 running OS 7.5.3. Almost 14 years after that and i'm still squiggling pretty pictures on macs, but also a 64bit windows box and a 64bit linux box.

my advice on updates (software, firmware, hardware) is if it ain't broke don't fix it. the quicker wake up from sleep seems cool, other than that it all looks like like the same "buy me!" changes that apple throw out far too often.

No this printer was never intended for Mac. I had when I switched from PC to Mac and was able to find a "hacked" driver to get it to work on the Mac, but with SL it won't without some serious hacking that I don't feel like doing. Its no biggie as its a cheapie printer and gives me an excuse for the new one anyway.

I tend to agree with if it ain't broke theory but they did do some great things internally to SL. Plus at only $29. If it had been the usual $129 or whatever they charge I probably wouldn't have. I also did a fresh install with SL not just upgrade.

i hear you jcocci, you seem to be all over it. just make sure that if you bring a new printer home (without permission) then the first photo that comes out of it should be of you and your wife.
