Many thanks, Al...the driver is actually there in SL according to Apple, but then again I am hearing rumors that not all parallel-to-USB cables are created equal. Anyone have any suggestions for cable brands or models to look at (or avoid)? What I really am hoping for is the simplest, cheapest, and most space-neutral solution. I actually have an old G3 iBook that would work perfectly as a print server (thanks Bruce, as usual), but alas I unintentionally murdered the motherboard last spring, and the cost of getting someone who knows what they're doing to replace same is astronomical. Maybe I can stick a new one in myself, I dunno...something else to research in my copious free time. Thanks!
