Connecting a Printer Cable
To print from your computer, you need to connect your printer
to your computer with either a parallel interface cable or a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.
If you are a Macintosh user, you can use only a USB cable.

Note: To connect the printer to the parallel port of the computer
requires a certified parallel cable. You will need to buy a IEEE1284
compliant cable.

port on your computer, and tighten the screws.
