i got this great old hp laserjet printer. it's in excellent condition, but it's parallel only. is there any sort of adapter that will let me plug it into the scsi port on one of my macs? (the cable will physically plug in... but it screws the whole computer up. i'm sure others have had this experience?) i found a few things that go the other way (scsi into parallel) and i've seen some USB ones as well (which i may end up getting...) for reference, it's an hp laserjet series II--

I've not seen such a device, only ones that let one hook a SCSI peripheral to a PC's parallel-port. I wonder if one of those ethernet-to-parallel adapters would work? It would make the printer a network printer. I don't know about drivers for the combo, though.G4From128k by Day: Mild-Mannered Engineer and Trapeze(tm) Artist
