I just tested my two printers and all is well with Tiger. The printers are
an HP Deskjet 990cse and a Laserwriter IIg.

So far, the only thing that doesn't work is my backup software, Retrospect
6.0. It crashed when it tried to perform its automatic weekly backup at 2
AM. Dantz says they will have fixes available for it later this week.

Speaking of new fast Macs. I just upgraded from a Mac Powerbook 500-MHz
Pismo to a new 17-inch 1.67-GHz Powerbook. What a difference a Gig makes!
