How do I?

I have just recieved a Mac II CX. It seems to have alot of memory and runs a 33.6 modem but that is all I know about  it. I am trying to make my cannon color bubble jet printer work with it, but every time I plug it in the menu options do not work and the computer will not start. My next question is: How do i turn it off? There is a shutdown option in the menu, but every time i use it it simply reboots the computer. PLEASE HELP ME.

NO NO NO. On the back of your computer is a little obnoxious switch which you can turn with a screwdriver or a small coin. In one position it always starts up the computer when power is applied, so the computer could be used as a server in the old days and would automatically reboot after a power failure.

In the other position of the switch your Mac behaves like you expect.

oh yeah, that thing. forgot about that annoying little switch :(. reject my answer and give hansriet some points.
