My mother wants to use a Postscript printer with only a parallel port
with her Beige G3, what are other people using? The options I can
think of are:
1) I can get "Power Print" for $50, I think including the
requisite USB-Parallel cable.
2) An ethertalk to parallel adapter, if they exist. (She
uses a dialup connection, or else I'd use a TCP/IP to parallel
adapter that I already have).
3) I have a serial to parallel converter floating around somewhere
in the computer jetsam in my apartment. It just collects the
serial data at one end and shoves it out the other end, eight
bits at a time.
4) Post to the list, asking for other solutions!
Anybody have any experience? It's a Postscript level 2 printer, so it
seems as though the hardware is going to be the big problem. Even if
she uses a pre-level 2 Postscript driver, it should still work.
