Please, how to plug my old SERIAL Apple Personal laser writer 300 on a USB OSX Mac.
If I can find some adapters, does a driver exists?
Thanks

Re: Serial/usb adapters for Apple Personal Laser Writer 300
before you invest $80 for a Keyspan
USB to serial adapter including lot of work and troubles (only working in classic).
there is no OSX driver available for laserwriter 300LS
it's time to invest in a new printer like:
Canon PiXMA 4000 @ $200
including color photo printing.
printing duplex (double sided)
and last but most important printing on cds.
while staying compatible with osx .... tiger
low cost printing based on single ink cartridges
(photoblack, black, yellow, magenta, cyan) and no photocolors (photocyan, photomagenta).
you just by ink without any cartridge and you buy just the ink that ist empty.

going of topic - this is not the place - there is no osx place to talk about mosaic printing solutions.

I have used Asante's "Asante Talk" Ethernet to Localtalk Bridge for 5 years now, works great. I have an old HP 5MP LaserJet.Originally posted by Christophe:
