NIGHT STALKER
Of all the surprises I've found over the years about this $9.99 thrift find, by far the biggest is its LocalTalk port! Just found it mentioned on a test print which is the only thing I've only ever done with it. The worst was that finding the necessary power cable or Lump-onno-Rope for ti was that it amounted to a RA Plug power cable I'd had all along! :
Was just hooking it up to the MDD via the Printer Port and a USB Adapter and beginning my search for drivers. Might not need search to search?
Has anyone ever had the 5MP or compatible LaserJet up and running under LocalTalk? Strange, or maybe not, that there's no Ethernet port on this thing, but right there it is, Apple's ancient LaserWriter/Printer Networked printer connection solution! 8-o
The only Mac drivers I've turned up easily are for OSX, no need for those, but if anyone knows of Win98/7/10 drivers for the 5MP or something with which it's backward compatible that would be much appreciated.
Back to the search!
