If you need high quality text, a laser printer is the only way to go. With the PowerPrint cable you can use almost any printer. I have a powerprint cable attached to an old HP Laserjet 4L(parallel) and it works well for text. You can find older HP laserjets fairly cheap if you are on a budget. With the Powerprint cable and software you can use any HP parallel or mac serial laser printer and most other parallel printers. HP made Mac serial LaserJets which were designated with an "M" in the model number. ie: LaserJet 4ML instead of the 4L. Same printer but with a serial port for Macs. If you don't have the PowerPrint software I can send an older version to you or show you where to download it. It's basically abandonware now anyway. The newer PP software can be found on Ebay but is for USB to parallel cables and may not work. Or you can buy a new LaserJet as suggested but if you need quality text stay away from inkjet printers. Inkjets eat ink and get really expensive compared to a good Laser printer and the quality is not even close. -- Ron http://krowmagnum.4mg.com/ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
