Correct, it is crossover. However all the printer cables I know are
miniDIN-8 on both ends. He would still need an adapter to plug into the
db-25 serial port on the ss2.

Or he could use the mac modem cable and use a db-25<->db-25 null modem
adapter like I do.

I guess it's six-of-one... Oh you know the rest (-:

I've used the Mac printer cable to attempt to connect IPXs to the Mac but
this NEVER works. But, as you say, it should. I'd love to find out what my
problem is.
