A follow up to that ever popular thread
Epson 3000 w/ Ethernet .
Using my best interquette I searched to see if my question had been asked or answered, but when I found that thread it wouldn't let me boot it up, too old. Too old, for crying out loud, that's what Microsoft could have said about the 1984 Mac I was running when they brought out Windows 95 . . . but I digress.
So I've got an Epson Stylus 3000 17x22 printer without an ethernet card. Bought it when they first came out and they didn't even have the cards available, and I didn't wait because I wasn't running any machines that had ethernet at that time.
I'm running this printer off a 180 mhz 9500 on system 9.2 I think and sending documents to that machine in relatively vanilla formats to print. This is getting old, literally and figuratively.
The link to the USB to parallel adapter cable in the old thread I linked above is broken although searching the Epson site I find a manual for that cable although no offering to sell me one. It appears to have been made by Epson for that and numerous other printers of its generation. Can I still get this cable? And or can I get an ethernet card for this printer so I can run it off my current set-up, i.e., 500 mhz G4 running 10.4.11. (OK, I'm still a few generations back, but it's not as old as my truck which was made in the year that Mac got the features of Windows 95).
Any help (or commiseration) appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
