Re: Cables

You are correct. A special "straight-through" cable to the switchbox, and regular Mac printer cables from the box to each printer. That is what has always worked in my experience. Note that many switchboxes made for Macs INCLUDED this special cable, which unfortunately was often not

Cables

Hello everyone; Since there seems to be a relatively quieter time on this list lately, I thought I'd ask about cables. I have several old Macs that at times need to use one printer. I bought a switch box to arrange for that and then bought cables to hook a couple of them up. To accomplis
