- I don't know exactly what the original poster meant by his question, but if
- the laser printer supports a SCSI hard disk for font storage, it certainly
- must be a SCSI device. But from the Mac point of view, it's a simple serial
- or appletalk device.
-
- So, when connecting a SCSI hard disk to a laser printer, what's the SCSI id
- of the printer?
