Q: USB to Parallel Cable for LW Select 360?

I am running 10.5.8 on a Mac mini and I want to connect to the parallel port of my old Laserwriter select 360. There seem to be a multitude of USB to parallel port cables. Which one, if any, should work?

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

    Sorry to bother you,, John but Ihave a problem getting my LW360 to print w/ OX 10.6.8. I set it up as you described (somewhere?). It printed ONE text page...and that's all! I have the USB x parallel cable, Gutenberg, CUPS but after that first text doc. can't get it to work. The computer 'sees' the printer as IEEE-1284 Controller and I set the drop down on 'Apple LW360 w'. The printer icon (dock) says 'Printing Untitled', printing page 1, 3%, printer offline, 'No printer available, 'no printer' and 'Please verify the USB connection!'

     

     

    Can you tell me where I went wrong? I notice the last date for you was over a year...here's hoping you're tilll around!

    Thanks, Jack
