How to use existing parallel printer cable to convert to USB ? -

Can i just buy the USB plug ? Connect this to existing printer cable.

Yes, there are converter cables for parallel printers to USB ports. Run ya about 30-40 bucks. Did you get a laptop without a parallel port? If you have a home network, why don t you consider buying an ethernet adapter for your printer and put your printer on your network.

No such adapter exists, and theres a good reason for it. Parallel cables are 25pin, usb is 5 pin, do the math
