[QUOTE="mickwish, post: 27179"] I have been given an old Powermac 7500/100 and a Laserwriter 4/600. The PowerMac works fine, and I can connect it to my home LAN fine via Ethernet, but I can't seem to get it to print to the LaserWriter. All software is installed correctly AFAIK. It only has a cable with a up/down arrow connector on it (a bit like a PS/2), and I have that connected to the MAc printer port (GEOPORT). But it doesn't seem to be recognised. Is there any other special connectors it should have? Can anyone help me, please? Also, would it be possible to connect this printer to an ethernet print server and print to it from windoze or *nix PC's? It has a parallel connector cable that I could use. Anyone know if it would work or not? Thank's for your help. Cheers Mick the clueless Mac user [/QUOTE]
