Got hold of one of these cables at the local "radio shack". Trouble

diskette drives). Point is: Have anybody here come across drivers for
OSX for such cables? Didnt find any on Apples site (not
surprisingly), nor did a Google search bring up any. Attempting to
make my G3 (and other OSX macs) use my Laserwriter...

I use (& used) a USB to parallel cable from Belkin (Printer Adapter)
on my current iMac G5 (& my old 9600/350 ) to connect to the parallel
port on my Epson printer... didn't need any special drivers in OS X
10.3.9 or 10.4.3.
The Radio Shack cable is IEEE compliant, same as the Belkin one. No
extra drivers needed for either OS9 or OSX. I put one on an Epson
Stylus 1520 running with their own printer driver under OS9, then with
GimpPrint under OSX Panther. Still works fine.
HTH,
