Canon LBP-8II
Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2020-02-06 10:17:51
There is an old laser printer on sale not too far from me. It is a Canon LBP-8II (Laser Beam Printer).

It looks like a laser printer from the 1980s.

Does anyone know if this can be used with a mac? It has no mac serial port but it was looks like a PC serial & parallel port. Do drivers exist? I expect not although PowerPrint might work.

Does anyone here have practical experience with one of these?
