Got the 5MP working with Panther 10.3.9 but Classic programs (mainly MS Office 2001) won't print. HELP!!!! Boss (my wife) is getting annoyed....
 
Download and install the OS 9 version driver for the printer. Then while in Classic (like when using Word), use the Chooser to select the driver and printer, then you can print.

(I guess you're using a USB-parallel adapter cable?)
 
Chooser gives me two choices - Laserwriter 8 and AppleShare. AppleTalk is not active. When I select Laserwriter 8, an error screen comes up and tells me that AppleTalk must be active for Laserwriter 8 to work and tells me to go to the Appletalk Control Panel to turn it on. Come to find out the version of OS 9 Classic doesn't have that control panel.
 
Hmmm,
After I intalled the OS 9 version driver, there is a Chooser choice HP Laserjet.

About appletalk, it can only be turned on in OS X Network prefs, not in Classic.
