- I'm pretty sure all you're gonna need is the right cable and a driver. I've
- seen Mac drivers for the Laserjet III on Applelink. I contacted HP about
- drivers for a Laserjet II - they don't support it (at least not for the Macs),
- but you can call them and they'll send you the driver for free or very cheap.
- Then you can just connect the printer for he price of the cable, and you're
- set. I've never actually tried to connect a laserjet II, so I could be
- wrong. I don't have HP's number handy - look in the manual, or I think it's
- in a file containing 800 numbers on sumex. Email me back if you can't find it
- and I'll see if I can dig it up.
