How soon do you need this working, and how much of a hacker are you? I managed to get docs for the PowerPrint mac serial to parallel converter, which goes for about $50, but my serial programming ability is so limited I couldn't get anything to work at all. If we can get something to work, this will be a great mac Linux printing option! Doc at: http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/PP3_rev_1_1.html -Adam P. Welcome to the best software in the world today cafe!
