I'd like to see that mac laptop with a parallel port.  Apple has, to
my knowledge, never used a parallel port on _any_ mac, much less a
laptop.  They used an RS422 serial connection for printing in the good
ol' days of the original Macintosh, and eventually migrated from there
to USB for printer attachment.

There were some old mac desktops with DB25 SCSI connectors, though.

Dell currently has our bid, and that's an extra item that must be
ordered.  Maybe the non-education/government stuff is different.
