I still don't want to buy a photo printer and not be able to use it. I happened into a HP negative scanner this week because of a computer incompatibility (thanks Ken) and now its got me to wanting a matching printer. I'm thinking an Epson 700 Photo or maybe the newer 750. My ancient computer (3 years old) only talks ISA and PCI stuff, I think. So what's an IEEE 1284 and this USB stuff?? Can I get them to communicating. Do they make special adapters?? If I get a printer that fits my current computer, do I have to trash it when I finally get a computer that uses the IEEE stuff and the USB connectors?? Sure this is on topic. I spent the weekend fetching through and scanning negatives I haven't seen in over twenty years. It was like visiting with old friends. : ) Yes, a goodly portion of them were taken with my M4 and 35/50/90 lenses. Any help or advise you could steer my way would be greatly appreciated. Bryant
