Mac Pro Printer Serial Port?
Thursday, October 2, 2008 / Hardware
Can you configure the new Mac Pro to accept a card to allow a serial port to be established to connect a printer?
I cannot seem to get a direct answer. Some say “yes”, some “no”.
The best way to get Mac Serial connectivity from a New Mac is to use a Keyspan USB Twin Serial Adapter. There is also this option for PC style serial connections.
It is important to know if the printer you are using has modern print drivers for Mac OS X. The connection is just 50% of the printing equation.
