I've got one sitting under my desk.  It was a great little printer for 
many years... until files started getting huge (read: after Office v5).  I 
can remember the days when it would actually take OVER AN HOUR to print a 
simple full-page JPEG.
	For regular text, it's excellent.  I wouldn't hold your breath for 
printing anything fancy, though.  That cable is an old Mac printer cable, 
before they used USB.  You may be able to find an adapter someplace, but I 
can't suggest where because I've never tried... but I'm sure one exists 
someplace.

Yep, that is for an optional PostScript cartridge.  If you want to be able 
to print extra fonts and stuff, you should get that cartridge.  If it's 
still available.

It was a good printer, and it still will be for text purposes... if that's 
your need, you've got a great deal.

Hope this helps!
