According to posts here, and email I received from Infowave, the printpack
cable for newton is their regular powerprint cable plus the newton drivers
built-in. You can/should be able to use the PowerPrint cable providing that
you have the Printpack2 drivers manually installed on the MP. I was using
the terms powerprint and printpack interchangeably, which indeed is not
correct.
I have the old and new versions of the POWERPRINT cable. I have tested the
"new" version in more situations than the "old".

Right, this is what I'm doing, but no success with any printer yet. I'll
keep trying and also drag the "old" version cable into work and try it on
more printers as well. (I'd give a better definition that "new" and "old",
except that's the only way they have been described to me by Infowave. I
had to get the "new" version to print from desktop Mac onto Canon BJC5000,
a software update plus the "old" cable wasn't good enough. Work paid for
it so that was OK by me- I'd been using my personal cable).
Thanks for the replies. If I get things working, I'll let you know.
If you care to mention model #s of printers you HAVE had success with, I'll
seek them out if possible.
Thanks,
Brian
