LPT -> USB adapter?
Is there any kind of adapter to plug my parallel port printer into my USB port on my new computer or do I have to go out and buy a new USB printer now?
TIA, Seth |

You can buy a PCI parallel port card for a lot less than that adapter. New computer doesn't have a parallel port?

nope doesn't have one. it's a, "Hey we don't wanna support no legacy equipment" PC. it's really annoying keyboard, mouse, you name it USB. I'm frankly surprised they have a freakin' floppy in it.
