Canon i9900 Firewire

I am looking for a pro-grade photo printer that avoids USB connections
(have had trouble with such). I understand that the Canon i9900 has
the option of a FireWire connection, but I was told by a salesman that
this will work on a Mac only. Is this true?

Best,

Bob

Well, if it is, there must be something wrong with mine! I've had it hooked
up via FireWire since the day I bought it. I've yet to meet a salesman who
knows what he's on about. Their job is to sell, not advise.
