Thanks for the enlightenment on the intricacies of an appletalk (serial) cable.

I had no idea just how many serial cables there are!

I ended up using the gray cable (8-pins) and it works fine.

I'm taking pics with my quicktake 100 and then printing out.

The resolution is not great (interpolation) but its good fun in a retro mac way.

Its quite a neat and fast little printer. I get about 5 (B&W) pages a minute.

And its going to print for a long time.

I have 20+ cartridges!

Cheers mates!
