Re: Cable for Epson 3000 to G4 computer

["Richard N. Moyer" <dickmoyer@earthlink.net>]

<x-flowed>Max will probably answer this. In case he doesn't:
The Ethernet card is for your Epson 3000 printer. Plugs into a slot 
on the back, I think, although I don't have this particular printer. 
You have to either get this card from Epson, or the 3000 comes 
already equiped with it. This puts your printer on a short Ethernet 
LAN. You connect to it out of your Ethernet port on you Mac. I think 
you will need a device from Farolon which converts you Mac Ethernet 
to 10BaseT (telephone wire) to which you connect to the back of your 
Printer Ethernet 10BaseT port. Then you choose (in Chooser) AT 
printername (printer name is the name of your printer with AT in 
front of it). There is also the possibility you can run all the way 
from your Mac to the printer with an Ethernet cross-over cable.
