Jun 21, 2013 4:25 AM in response to Peugeotguyby JustSomeGuy,★HelpfulOther solutions include getting a "bridge" Mac that can talk Appletalk and serve the printer on your network. But that will probably be expsnsive in terms of maintenance effort for you - and for little gain. It's down to a cost-benefit analysis for you: how much effort do you want to put into keeping this older technology bridged to the present day, vs. purchasing a new, inexpensive laser printer that will work now and for a while into the future?
I know, and I sympathize with the notion that perfectly good hardware shouldn't go to waste. Believe me, look at my tagline - I have lots of it. But the fact of the matter is that joining the very old to the very new gets harder and harder with each passing generation. Do you want to become an expert in retro computing? Do you want to become tech support for your mom? If so, join the club - and welcome! If you just want your mom to be able to print, pick up a new laser printer.

Jun 25, 2013 11:45 PM in response to JustSomeGuyby Peugeotguy,Dear JustSomeGuy: thanks for your reply and help! Could you please tell me what the last OS X version that supported this printer? If I try to sell it, I'd like to tell them that it doesn't work with newer operating system but OSX(x) supports it. Thank you.
