Posted by: Macintoshguy1984 on 2016-07-24 20:44:05 I have a macintosh plus and would like to hook up my image writer 1 to it. nut they have different connecters.

Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-07-25 04:10:25 Well, you need a new cable. Here's one that will fit. The one you have is for a 128k/512k Mac.

Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-07-25 14:34:22 It's all build in. Just select the printer using the "chooser" (Desk Accessory) and you're ready to go.  😛

Posted by: tanaquil on 2016-07-25 22:35:40 The ImageWriter printer driver will need to be in the System Folder in order to select it in the Chooser. It should be installed automatically, but if it's not there, a copy should be easy to locate.
