I have recently become a MacIntosh owner, in addition to the two Amigas that I posess I have a Cannon BJ200e printer that I would like to share with the Mac, but am unclear how or if this can be done. The Mac appears to use some kind of serial interface for the printer, while the Amiga, of course, is Centronics parallel. (no documentation came with my Mac, so I am guessing that this is the case from various catalog writeups, etc.) Alternately, if I have to get a printer for the Mac, is it possible (easily) to use the Amiga with the Mac printer. Then I could give my son the Cannon to use instead of the one he has which is almost worn out. The Mac is an LC 475 with 4 Meg ram. The Amiga is a "souped up" Amiga 500 with a GVP530 accelerator and 5.5 Meg ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Steve Smith
