Does anybody know of a way that I might be able to use my Epson Photo 700 with my new ibook 600? The printer has a serial port and a parallel port. I've seen a parallel-to-USB adapter listed on Epson's site and that seems to be the only way that they will discuss the matter. If anybody has any experience with this item please let me know. I also have an Entrega USB-Serial unit that doesn't seem to work with the printer under OS 9.2.2, although it does work okay with a serial Palm device. It doesn't appear to work at all under OS 10.2.6 with any device. I've tried the Gimp-print and Ghost-writer schemes but the Entrega unit seems to be the deal-breaker. My research has led me to the Keyspan USB-Serial unit which advertises itself as being Epson-compatible. Again, is there anybody out there with experience with this unit?
I have an Epson Stylus Color 850 which I used with my old PB G3 with serial port. On my G4 PB (OS X) I have had no luck at all getting it to work ( I have a Keyspan USB-serial adapter). It does work in OS 9 and I think Classic. I don't think the parallel-USB adapter will work (I enquired about this and was told not to bother). The Keyspan adapter is good (works with other devices).
