chairmonkey4406 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Also maybe, I might be interested in any Mac OS 8 software you have lying around. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Wouldn't that just be a regular USB cable that you can get pretty much anywhere or does it have some type of proprietary connector on the printer end? -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairmonkey4406 Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 The printer end is not a regular USB. I don't know what it is. It kind of looks like firewire, only turned around. Here I drew a picture.... Heh, doesn't do it must justice, but it's the best I could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Looks like a USB "B" connector. The "A" connector is the flat one. The "B" connector is the squareish one. Maybe you need something like Type A USB Male to Type B USB Male (CompUSA link)? Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah, you should be able to get one of those at pretty much any place that sells computers & electronics. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthead Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 If the corners of that are actually of 45 degree angles and not round, then yeah, all you need is a standard A to B connector and you're set. But don't get them at the computer store, you'll get ripped off. Check ebay, there will be reasonable prices there. I don't see why anyone would want to pay more than $5 or $8 for a wire with connectors on the ends. Don't ever pay the $25 or $35 ripoff prices for them ...

BoatofCar Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Walmart has a 6' cable for around $8, the best deal I've found in a retail store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I wouldn't buy this in a retail store, the prices for this stuff are way out of line! There are good deals for these cables on eBay, you should be able to find them for around $3 shipped. Many sellers have them listed for low prices and then gouge you on shipping. I just purchased something from this guy, and he has exactly what you need: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=6726531148 Shipped for $2.99, I don't think you can beat that - and he emailed me the same day I purchased and told me the item was shipped. Good feedback ratio too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
