Yeah- that's why I want to keep using it!! The resolution on the

an- I feel silly- now that you told me how- it pops right off and
I see the spot where the cable plugs in! I wasted a lot of time
prying and tugging- thinkingit would pop off... Um..er...please
excuse my ignorance--all I see inside is a (oh boy I'm in trouble
now) a long slot (vertical). Again- for years I have thought
ethernet meant wireless--ether... So I need time to catch up- what
does an ethernet port look like? IF one is that, does that mean I
can get the printer to interface with a Mac that has an ethernet
port (seems logical, but just checking) I suspect the thing I am
looking at is NOT what you meant- since it is about 2 inches long
(about 5 cm.). I have the manual and under other things it shows a
cable (calling it an interface cable) with a huge narrow
connection--plugging in (as opposed to the one that actually came
with it. Is this ehternet? If so it is HUGE?? Wait a minute-
hold the presses- in an earlier diagram things are (tah
dah!) labeled- the round port is shown as a slight blow up and
labeled LocalTalk Port. The long narrow one is also in a slight
blow up and labeled Parallel port (IEEE-1284). Have I made any
progress in getting it to communicate with any other Macs- or is
this just a nice gee whiz factor..?
But, hey- just by being able to open up that "door" I feel as if
I have accomplished something (doesn't take much to entertain me!)

I have a HP 2100M...
Now that you have the door off, you see where the Localtalk cable
plugs in.
The Parallel Port can take a Parallel-to-USB cable, allowing you to
use the printer with a Mac that has USB.
The 2-inch long "slot" is for plugging in an EIO card. I believe the
ethernet card is called the "Jetdirect 600n print server."
