Hi there,
I recently bought a G4 500DP and I desperateley need to use my old Epson Photo EX A3 printer with it. Since the Printer does not sport USB I wonder if there is any adapter for it which I could buy, but I don't even know how the old (printer/modem port) Interface would be called.Please could anyone give me a hint?
Regards, TWD

Try Griffin Technology. I have an iMate that allows the use of ADB stuff and they make a USB-Serial converter also.
You should consider a new printer if you're shooting photos. I just replaced my old CS800 with a 1280 and the image quality is awesome.

Epson makes a converter & s/w bundle. I forget what it's called and I remember having a hard time finding info for it from Epson. Sorry, but it exists.
I agree w/ above poster: you're better off putting your money into a new printer. Check eBay or refurbdepot.com.

Thanks Guys, that was helpful!!! I know what to look for now (although I'm going to stick to my old EX if possible, since it works so well with the Wallstreet!
