Can't get power on LaserWriter LS

I was given an Apple personal laser printer LS. I want to use it on one of my PC's. However, I can't get it to turn on.

Power plug good, switch on printer is on and it was working before I got it.

Any ideas?

That takes care of that.

The mini DIN-8 connection supports serial communication only with a Mac OS compatible computer via a serial Peripheral 8 cable. AppleTalk is not an option with the Personal LaserWriter LS. There is no support for communication with DOS/Windows compatible computers.

I always liked throwing AppleTalk into a random conversation with someone. It always threw them off guard long enough for me to sneak away.
