Seems that you've mixed two completely different things. ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) and printer (serial) cables are not the same thing - even connectors are different. As for printers, any Mac printer cable is a 'cross-over' one, so either your switch-box does have non-standard pinout, or one of your cables is non-standard. I'm not sure what cable you're calling "right regular ADB printer cable", but most likely you have something wrong. Get a pair of _standard_ (or, as you call it, "regular") printer cables - it should work. WBR, Artur -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
