Hi all.

Trying to get my mom's old HP LaserJet 2100 hooked up to the new imac.

What do you think is best?

USB to Parallel interface?

or the

Usb card : J4135A card ?
or Network card

JetDirect card for Ethernet ?

What seems like the morst reliable solution ?
..apart from replacing the printer.

thanks
Ian

USB to parallel if it's the only computer connected. If more than device needs to use it then go with a jet direct card if you can get one.

Thanks everyone I decided to go with the 615 card found it for $15

and selected it. Done !
