- I would like to connect a HP LaserJet II to a Mac IIci. So far
- I have about 3 different answerrs to the problem.
-
- 1. Just get a 8 pin round connector --> 15 pin RS 232 connector
- for the HP serial port. Connect from printer port to
- the HP. (I don't believe this)
-
- 2. Buy a apple talk --> parrallel cable with apropriate drivers
- from a company in Canada for ~150. This would not print
- postscript, but would print.
-
- 3. Buy some sort of apple talk conversion box for ~500 which would
- preserve postscript, but cost $$$$$$$$$.
-
- HP suggested version #3. Note the Laser Jet II cannot be made
- apple talk compatable by added an HP Conversion card like in
- a III or a IIp.
-
- I know someone out there must have an answer. I would like to
- try and preserve the postscript that the laserjet has by way of
- an Adobe postscript card.
-
- Does anybody have a solution??
-
- Thanks
