Can a standard PC printer be used with a MAC machine??

Do you know if there is an interface available to make a standard PC printer with parallel ports usable in a MAC machine?, or are there specific MAC printers that must be used for MAC'S?

Thanks

Hello and thank you for your question.

Yes an interface is available to connect a printer with a parallel port to a MAC with a serial port Cost $40.00-$50.00 Newer printers will usually say PC or MAC compatible or both, "USB" This interface cord/plug can be purchased at most reputable computer stores You will also need the correct MAC drivers for your printer.

Good luck!!
