I'm trying to connect my new Epson C64 to my MAC G5. I see some that
are USB1.5 and some that are 2.0. Some male to male or male to female. I don't
know my printers sexual orientation ...LOL! Can someone PLEASE tell me what to
buy?

How about helping yourself by looking at the computer and the printer. Then
buy a cable which mates to each.

Usually, the male connector goes to the computer while the female connector
goes to the device.

I haven't unpacked either yet to look. What about the USB 1.5 or USB 2.0 issue?
Would someone please
be kind enough to just let me know what to order online?

I don't have either item, but the norm is for a type A connector at the
computer end and a type B at the printer end. The type A is the wide, flat
connector, the type B is roughly square. The gender is problamatical, as
both the A and the B slip into a hole, which in turn has a projection which
slips into the cable connector.

I have two HP printers and an Epson scanner, each of which has a Typre B
connector. I have three computers, two Dells and a Coimpaq, and each has a
type A connector.
