I don't know nuttin' about this and can't remember much about OS 9 
stuff, but here goes, FWIW.

Did you try turning off the CarbonLib extension and then seeing if 
the printer works? Just curious - this might help confirm that there 
is a conflict, right?

CarbonLib, which is an extension that permits the use of carbonized

It's often helpful to Google a Mac problem. There are lots of 
websites that carry info about Mac problems before the "official

I see a link for version 1.4 at Apple.

Also, I note that there are download areas (university sites, etc) for 1.5.
