I understand that on of the Apple standard cables will work. Can someone tell me which cable or what the connections would be to make such a cable. Thanks! John The standard ImageWriter cable works just fine (beware tho that extended length cables might not work because of the high bandwidth of the transmission). I've used the IW cable with a HP LaserJet III with no problems whatsoever. -- Tero Nieminen Tampere University of Technology n67786@cc.tut.fi Tampere, Finland, Europe
