Um, yeah, small problem with that. I went to chat to my facilities guys about the power needs. We have to book out power so the UPS doesn't complain (I blame it on the World Cup).

(He forgot the parallel-port cable, though.) I still use a parallel port to connect to my HP laserjet 1300. I think the printer also has a USB port, but I had a parallel cable left over from my Epson LQ-1500 (24 pins for extra high-frequency noise!). -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

You're aging yourself, Walt. Some of us have actually used these, let alone know what they are. Okay, I was exaggerating, but only slightly. My brother-in-law forcibly took my Epson MX-100 away to an e-cycling place on the grounds that the dust was aggravating his asthma. This happened about three months ago, no kidding. (He forgot the parallel-port cable, though.)

Ah, quit whining. At least it has a serial port so you can hook up your ASR-33 teletype. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow! I'm RELIGIOUS!! at I love a man with gmail.coma HAIRPIECE!!
