Hi Geoffrey;

I actually have a MacSE/30 and a Brother M-1109 printer. This printer
has a parrallel(?) and a serial port. It is setup to emulate an Epson
Fx-80+. So I think all I need is a cable (a mac to serial cable) and a
software driver.

Is a mac to serial cable the same as an imagewriter2 to Pc cable?
