Hi Ronni -- -- I've got quite an old HP 5MP Laserjet, how do I check if it's connected via Ethernet/Appletalk (yes, this should be obvious, I plead old age). I checked System Preferences/ Hardware/Printers for the 5MP, it doesn't seem to say. I have a network which connects to another Mac, router, printer etc with blue cables. Thanks if you can help.....
