I am running an "desk lamp" iMac version 2.1 on OSX 10.2.8
There are 5 USB ports. The age of the iMac would preclude these from

The Apple System Profiler under Devices and Volumes just identifies
USB ports but does not say their version.
A printer I am considering purchasing - an Epson C67 wants USB 1.1 (Is
this a PC thing and not to worry wrt Macs?).
However, will the printer be compatible with my iMac?
Merv
Macs will have USB ( as in USB1.1 ) or
they may have USB2 in late version Macs .
More important is the software you plan to run .
The Specs for the C67 , at this address
<http://www.epson.com.au/products/inkjet/stylusc67_specs.asp>
say that it works with OSX 10.2.4 and higher AND
you can download drivers for OS9.1 ( should also work with OS9.2 )
IF ..... you are wishing to print from an application that is running
in Classic ,
BE WARNED that some Epson devices cannot do that .
If Classic printing is required you need to confirm it is possible
before
you commit yourself.
