Miguel Arroz<p>It's a rainy Sunday night here so I'm browsing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a>! Who has a color printer available?</p>

A:\kiteless.exe /BLM<p>Hey all. I’ll be leaving my IIci on from now through Sunday evening (-8 GMT). It would make my month if folks left some cards on my Mac. I don’t have much to share other than some fun all ages artwork in 256 color PICT format. This is my first Globaltalk and it’s just been so fun. My zone is “rexouiums”. I’m row 154 on the sheets. Thanks so much all and happy mac’ing! </p><p><a href="https://furries.club/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marchintosh</span></a> <a href="https://furries.club/tags/globaltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>globaltalk</span></a></p>

Vlado Vince<p>Thanks to *someone* for these nice iMacs! Unfortunately the printer stopped before the whole image could print..</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.vladovince.com/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a></p>
Scott Small 🇨🇦<p>So, here's my actually-planned-for-this-year <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> project. Attached is a photo of four very dusty containers full of floppy disks. These are the actual disks from my childhood IIfx!</p><p>Most of these disks aren't original. The originals lived at Dad's workplace. He would periodically bring home software from work, make a copy of the disks, and return the originals to work. These were, I'm told, the "off-site backups", in case there was a fire at the workplace or something like that. But we also had all this software installed on the family IIfx so Dad could read any files that he brought home from work with him.</p><p>Of course, we also bought our own software for the home, and those are mixed in with these disks as well. And that stack of CD-ROMs in the top left are my MacAddict cover disks - those are already archived.</p><p>Anyway, because these are just consumer-grade diskettes, they degrade quicker than the professionally-manufactured original ones. I've already lost a few, so I want to get these archived! And of course, anything that doesn't already exist on the Garden will be uploaded there and shared on <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a> as well. </p><p>(expect this to be a long-ass foone-style thread with lots of updates over several days)</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageMac</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mac</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ClassicMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicMac</span></a></p>
Karl Baron<p>Ooos, there was a paper feed issue that I only caught halfway through this printout!!</p><p><a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a></p>
Vlado Vince<p>My ImageWriter II on <a href="https://mastodon.vladovince.com/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a> has been unusually quiet lately...</p><p>If you've got something fun to print, send it to my printer on the JUPAK network! It also prints in color! A Dropbox is also available on the Galaksija netatalk share for all your digital messages 😊 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.vladovince.com/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vladovince.com/tags/Marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marchintosh</span></a></p>
Scott Small 🇨🇦<p>Tried out InterPrint on my IIfx today and I've got to say, it works beautifully!</p><p><a href="https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/interprint-112" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">macintoshgarden.org/apps/inter</span><span class="invisible">print-112</span></a></p><p>This Chooser extension allows you to print to LPR queues over TCP/IP. But unlike the IP printing support in LaserWriter 8 (which "requires" Mac OS 8, though I think you can manually install it on as low as System 7.5.3), InterPrint works all the way down to System 6.0.5! It fully supports PostScript, too.</p><p>What this means for me is that after <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MARCHintosh</span></a> is over, I can repurpose my Raspberry Pi, which currently acts as an AppleTalk print server for my local network (and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalTalk</span></a>, by extension).</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageMac</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mac</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ClassicMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassicMac</span></a></p>
