I'd sure be interested!!! I have yet to see a USB printer that will accept a true ADB connector, nor are they compatible. You can run a serial printer from USB if you have an iMate adapter, but not the other way around. As previously mentioned, you can serve it on an ethernet, though, and have the 1400 share it that way. Best regards, Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
