[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Apple stumbling block

[Peter Lux]

I've built a mac staff client for 2.7.4 that is working well on Mavericks
and Yosemite except for an issue we have with our dymo 450 turbo spine
label printers which I haven't quite defeated.

If anyone wants to try that client I can share it and any thoughts on the
printer issue most welcome. The label printer is working with windows
clients and worked with past mac clients.
