A "generic" serial-to-parallel cable, if one exists, will not work. The=20=
company that made the original Print Pack also made a=20
serial-to-parallel printer cable that will work. However, it's a bit=20

but not the later models, made by the company that bought the original=20=
won't work. Also, you will need the PrintPack version 2 software to get=20=
it to work. As Martin said, search the archives. You should find=20
something. I have the ser-par model, not the Print Pack model, and it=20
works fine with my older Epson Stylus Color 900. Unfortunately, I have=20=
just retired my Epson from regular duty, thanks to the cost of ink=20
replacement. I don't know what I will do with it. Time will tell.=20
Doubly unfortunate is that my Print Pack cable is in Poland, and I"m=20
not, so I can't offer it to you!
