- USB to Parallel
- Posted by David Glass on December 10th, 2006
I have an older printer with a parallel connection and a new computer with
USB. Is there some sort of converter I can use to get these to talk to each
other?
Thank you.

Here is one:

If this is an old Epson printer, you will probably find the ink monitor
doesn't work with the adapter cable. If you already have a parallel cable
for the printer, perhaps you should simply install a PCI Parallel Port PCI
Printer card that sell for about $10-$20 on EBay.

Yes, there are such devices, and they've been around since the beginning of
USB, so I don't think they'd be that hard to find, if you look.
