Great printer. I have 2 of them. The best way to hook it up is to connect an ethernet 10Base-T transceiver to the connector that is between the SCSI and RS-232 connectors. Then you will interface via ethernet and can share the printer with other computers. I don't recall if you then want to use a straight or crossover ethernet cable. If you don't want to do that, you need a connector that goes from the ADB-looking port on the left. I think they were called Appletalk connectors. I probably have one I could sell you for $5 + shipping, if you can't find one. The SCSI port is for hooking up an external Hard Disk to hold fonts. If you have an old small hard disk around, it might be a good use for it. BTW, never use anything but HP toner cartridges in that printer. I have had bad experiences with cartridges from Staples and Lexmark. Nick Pappas -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
