OK, the printer seems to be fine now. I think what
happened was it was printing at a high resolution and
I thought it was stuck in the same spot but it was
probably printing each line very carefully. Sure seems
awfully slow to print a page compared to OS X.

I ran molvconfig and got the same results as previous
attempts. When I check different test resolutions,
instead of getting a red or green or blue or black
screen, I get a screen of horizontal stripes of
different colors including blue, turquoise, pink,
white, black, yellow, and shades of grey. When the
video configuration finishes, I get this text in the
shell:
-------------------------------------------------------
Writing configfile /var/lib/mol/fb_modes
1152 * 864, 59.09 Hz, Depths: 8
1152 * 864, 69.09 Hz, Depths: 8
1152 * 864, 74.09 Hz, Depths: 8
1152 * 846, 79.09 Hz, Depths: 8
1152 * 846,  0.00 Hz, Depths: 8

I still get the funky low-res, off-color graphics in
MOL. Any ideas?

Have a great weekend.

I have a 1.25 Ghz eMac and it is definitely a great
value.

In order to set yaboot to boot both OS X and OS 9 you
will have to
have them on seperate partitions on your hard drive.  

I figured the PRAM setting would restore your yaboot.

The printer is probably trying to print the postscript
data as ascii
text.  Try changing drivers for your printer or
settings on the driver.

machine for the price,
BTW... even better value these days on the newer
eMacs. 


Is there a way yaboot can be configured so I can
choose between
booting OS 9 and OS X? Would this require me to create
separate
partitions for each Mac OS?


The PRAM resetting did help restore yaboot, thank you.



I was able to get YDL to recognize my Epson printer,
but when I did a
print off a Mozilla page the printer seemed like it
was printing but
the printer head was just moving back and forth over
the same area of
the paper. When I turned off the printer and turned it
back on it just
kept feeding paper through until I turned the power
off. ??


Thank you.
