Paul That's because Epson have the customer in mind, unlike LaCie! Epson do not want to confuse you by giving you a Firewire AND a USB cable because you may not know which one goes where! Also, they have no way of knowing whether you want to plug the printer into a computer or use it as a doorstop. So, by not providing connecting cables, they provide you with infinite choices. I call that good business practice. Your mileage may vary. ;-) Shangara Singh. __________________________________________________ :: Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Photoshop CS :: Photoshop CS Essential Tips || Photoshop Glossary (eBooks) :: Examaids for Adobe & Macromedia Certification :: http://www.examaids.com || http://www.photoshopace.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
