Applications
The HP DeskJet 340 was a compact, portable inkjet printer introduced in the mid-1990s and popular for use with both PC and Macintosh systems. Macintosh computers of that era used Apple's proprietary Mini-DIN 8-pin serial ports (LocalTalk/RS-422) rather than the PC-standard DB-25 parallel port, requiring a dedicated cable like the C2660-80001 to connect to a parallel-interface printer. This cable bridges that gap, enabling direct printing from a Mac to the DeskJet 340 without an adapter. It remains useful for anyone maintaining a legacy Mac or DeskJet 340 setup, as well as collectors and vintage computing enthusiasts.
This HP C2660-80001 parallel to Macintosh serial printer cable has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The cable and both connectors — the Centronics 36-pin parallel end and the Mini-DIN 8-pin Mac serial end — show no significant damage. There is light surface wear consistent with normal use and storage. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
