Well I can't say that it will work but the connector on the router is the 'computer' end of the parallel cable. Theoretically you should just be able to set up a TCP/IP printer port on the computers specifying the router and then pick the driver for the printer, but I have never done that on a Mac and don't know which versions of MacOS that you are running. The easiest thing IMHO is to just plug the printer into one of the iMacs and share it from there.
-----Original Message----- From: iMac List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Kotomaimoce Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 14:53 To: iMac List Subject: 4 macs, 1 printer I have 4 macs (two iMacs, an iBook, and a G4) that I'd like to have share the same printer. All 4 are connected to the same router for DSL. I have a second router (not in use right now) that has a spot to plug in a printer, but it's 24-pin. The printer is USB, but also has a parallel port. Anyway I can use this router to share the printer among the four Macs? Or is there another router out there that would have a USB port? Or is there some other gadget I would use? The router seems like the easiest thing, eliminating the need to hook up a bunch more cables.
