Hey, you're not alone. There are quite a lot of mac-using NY members.
Ira Rainey, Philip Gooch, Paul Harvey and of course.. myself.

Well, there seem to be two cables that fit, but only one that works.
Don't ask me witch is the right one and how to call it. I have a working
convertion cable and I got it with my digital camera (Agfa ePhoto 307).
It came with a PC-cable and a mac-converter piece. I never use the PC
cable that came with it, a normal printercable works fine. This way I
can use the converter part for the Yaroze.
As you may have noticed, I suspect your cable is the problem. But don't
ask me any technical stuff. I can't even code..

Succes..
