Adapters? Serial Printer to iMac?

[ebridges13]

I just upgrade from a 8600/200 to an iMac(G4) and would like to connect my existing printer(QMS 860) which is a serial printer. Is there any Adapters that will let me accomplish this? Thanks for any leads!!!

Check Keyspan for USB to Serial Adpaters.

Thank you. My next questions is will it work using OS X since the printer is so old?

Older printers may not have an OS X driver, but you should check out Gimp Print

http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3

It supports a full list of printers.

You will be able to print in Classic, as long as there is an OS 9 driver.

Thanks for the site. Unfortunately my printer is not on their list. Bummer.....
