I’ve not posted to my blog in a while because it was quicker to love blog on birdsite. But recently, there’s a renewed purpose to try and convert some of my repair threads from birdsite to my blog. Boosts welcome!

This is the first one, Welcoming (back) a LaserWriter II. Things you’ll find in this post: some repairs, software fixes, hacks to print from an iPhone, and refurbishment of a new toner cartridge. Hope you enjoy! #RetroComputing #LaserWriterII #Apple

“Here’s how I did it. The LaserWriter IIg is connected to Ethernet. Install MacIPRpi on a Raspberry PI which gives you netatalk and CUPS. https://t.co/PhFTdybzB1”

Welcoming a new (old) printer (back) into my fleet: a LaserWriter II. It’s a workhorse of a printer from 1988 dressed in Snow White design language. #RetroComputing
