Standard peecee printer connector not a Mac style round printer/serial cable
style plug. So is it possible to connect one, if not what are the Printer
cables I see on eBay with a round end Mac end and a Peecee Parallel connector on
the other end for? Also would HP's standard printer software work? I know that
the HP deskwriters my friends have used worked great. Any help would be
appreciated . truly the hybrid cable thing confuses me.
You need PowerPrint (cable and software package). Make sure you get the s/w! Works very well in my experience. Now should be very cheap on eBay.
Someone also did a 'homebrew' version, ISTR, but with prices so low, I'd get the commercial version. HP DeskJets are bound to be fine with it.
