Re: old printer connection
I actually am not going to connect my powerbook to the laserwriter, instead I want to connect it to my office beige G3...for large text document output. My office system has just a scanner, and this printer which use serial ports I have a cd burner, which is an old one but new for me but it has a differnet cable than the 25 or 50 pin of my late model scsi devices. When i acquired the cd burner it came with the necessary cable and a converter/adapter for this new kind of cable so that I could covert it into a 25 pin for the next device on the chain. I rememeber that to daisy chain my devices, I must assign SCSI ID's for them. I also remember that there was a best order in the chain, terminating the last device. My problem is I don't have another one of these cables, plenty of the others, and I don't know what it is called so that I can go to circuit city and get another cable and another adapter/coverter. can you tell me 1] the best order of devices in the daisy chain, 2] which will be the last to terminate and 3] the name of this kind of cable, on the cable adapter end it says 50HD-25D. thanks for any tech noggin you can do... kristina on 2/24/05 4:33 PM, G-Books at G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com wrote: What kind of LaserWriter is this?

Old printer connection
I just got my laserwriter back from some laser repair co. near chicago. they really work on HPs and those platform...but they said they did fix it. and yes it kicks out its test sheet. I plugged it in to the wall and using the same cable from my epson i plugged that into the printer, as I don't have a fancy switcheroo thingy so I can have multiple printers. I reinstalled the Laserwriter software... but nobody's home looking in the chooser window... Chooser doesn't recognize it...i have forgotten how to hold my mouth just right with this gizmo as its been 3-4 years since the laserwriter II NTX was my primary printer, and worked. It took a long time to find someone to fix it since the printerman at weingarten's passed away. what am i doing wrong? or am I missing software? thanks for any help you might have to offer.
