I've switched to a G5 recently, but I still own an old LaserWriter Select 360 I'd like to use with the G5 (OSX 10.4.11). The LW has LocalTalk (AppleTalk?), Serial and Parallel (Centronics) connectors.
Of course the G5 has no LocalTalk port, so I thought of using an USB-Parallel cable I found somewhere (I have no idea where I got it or its brand). Here's a link to a page with a cable very similar to mine: http://lancej.blogspot.it/2007/05/mac-usb-parallel-adapters.html As suggested in that page, I tried using USBTB, but it didn't work. While installing the driver, the installer attempted to communicate with the printer, but it found no USB printer at all (the LW was on and connected, of course). I wonder if my cable is not Mac compatible (some USB-Parallel cables on the Net are said to be "not for Macs"). Any idea? Any program or driver I can try? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
