Hello All
My father in-law is debating adopting my Lombard 400 running

Has anyone had any experience with USB to serial adaptors and/or  
using serial printers with OS 10.3.9?


It depends on the printer, but many don't work. Odds are that's a  
pretty old printer, anyway, time to upgrade that one, too?


What printer is it?

technology is the answer, what was the question?




Keyspan adapters work well in my experience,  but you will pay more  
than the value of the printer for one.  And you should check their  
website for supported printers.


Best cost-effectiveness is likely to just buy a new printer.
