hello,
sorry if this is in the wrong place, but as i intend to attempt an ethernet connection i thought this was an appropriate place to post.
in a nutshell, i have acquired a second hand LJ4000 printer, which has ethernet (RJ45) and parallel connections - no usb.
obviously, the mac has no parallel port.
I am running a wireless network already with the router in the living room and the mac upstairs - i would like the printer to be with the mac.
can i simply hook the printer to the mac via ethernet cable, or do i need to somehow hook it to a wireless card or access point and access via the router?
thanks to anyone who can answer this possibly stupid question!
