You may not need to go that far. You may be able to get a mac driver for your PC printer. (You neglect to enlighten us as to what make/model you have). I would try a bunch of drivers for similar printers & generic drivers and see what may work. You would be surprised!

If you want to learn how to use your mac to be productive and do what you need/want to do, then forget about all your PC things when dealing with the mac. More posts on Mac uses are greatly encouraged.
Summary: I would like to get a PC emulator for a Macintosh LC580 with System 8. I use to have system 5, but thanks to these forums and a very nice person I now have system 8, which has made my mac work alot be...
