Dear Mac Partners,
Being an early early adapter, I cast caution to the winds and
downloaded Leopard. I know MIT will catch up soon, but as I said, I'm
impatient. Anyway, it works fine with my setup (Powerbook G4). But
I have discovered a glitch which I pass on to all of you. If you have
an older printer (I have a HP Deskjet 990cse), the built-in drivers
only allow basic functions. So you are in jeopardy of losing some
useful printer functions if you download Leopard. For example, my
deskjet could do two-sided printing on OS 10.4.1, but not on OS10.5.1.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Jay
