i just got my mother her first computer, its a G3 300, running OS X and she naturally wants a printer. this is not a problem, except, that this is a pre-usb computer and i dont go that far back with macs. i dont even know what that little printer port is called on the mac. (im guessing - printer port)

can someone point me to a printer that is compatible with this computer or maybe a certain cable that i need to use a parallel printer?

thanks alot

steve

Just buy a cheap USB PCI card and you can use any printer you want. that is what I did.

Is this a good place for an argument?
