    MAGNet,

    Just as I mailed off the previous message (below), I found some
    information on the Belkin site that suggested disabling the "USB
    Device Extension" when using Mac OS 9. I tried that and now I can
    indeed print.

    HOWEVER, upon restart there was a message, as follows:

    "Drivers needed for the USB device 'Apple Extended USB Keyboard' are
    not available. Would you like to look for these drivers on the
    internet?"

    Does this indicate that I might run into some loss of functionality
    with my keyboard if the driver extension is disabled? Obviously the
    keyboard is working in a standard manner as I type this, but is there
    something that will not work off the keyboard that isn't immediately
    obvious?

    Thanks again, and sorry for posting the earlier message before I
    fully checked out the Belkin website.

    John
