Dear Dean, Unless the printer has an Ethernet connection, it can cost you a lot to connect the old printer to the iMac G5. Very old Apple LaserWriter printers had Appletalk connections that only connects to a printer port.
Can you tell me the model? [But if the printer has an Ethernet connection Mac OS X will recognize it without problems.] Javito. > Hey, thanks.
