Roger Oren sent these detailed instuctions for modifying older print drivers to work with MutiUsers on MacOS 9.

MacOS 9 limits for some types of users the locations where they can save files. For the early Epson printer drivers, this means limited and panel users can not print because the printer driver saves temporary files in a fixed location in the System Folder.

Later model drivers have the option to change where these temporary files are made. To change the early Epson drivers so all users can use the printer, do the following:

(Note to copy a file or folder to a new location, hold the option key while dragging the icon to the new location. Copying is indicated by a plus sign on the icon.)

For the Epson StylusColor driver:

Make a new folder in a safe location named Stylus Originals.

Open the System Folder-->Extensions Folder

Copy the Epson Monitor 2 extension to the Stylus Originals folder.

Copy the StylusColor extension to the Stylus Originals folder.

Using ResEdit 2.1.3, open the System Folder-->Extensions Folder-->Epson Monitor 2 file.

Open the STR resource, then ID# -8178. It should say "Epson Folder"

Change it to say "STARTUPDISK:Users:Shared Documents", substituting your startup disk name for "STARTUPDISK". Don't include the qoutes, but do use the colon between folder names.

Close and save.

Using ResEdit 2.1.3, open the System Folder-->Extensions Folder-->StylusColor file.

Open the STR resource, then ID# -8178. It should say "Epson Folder".

Change it to say "STARTUPDISK:Users:Shared Documents", substituting your startup disk name for "STARTUPDISK".

Close and save.

---

Open the System Folder-->Extensions Folder-->Epson Folder.

Copy the "spool" folder to the "STARTUPDISK:Users:Shared Documents" folder.

Copy the "options" folder to the same location.

Now any user should be able to print using the StylusColor printer in the chooser.
