Stupid Question Time:

Is there an easy way to connect and use a printer that has only a parallel
connector to a computer USB port? Is there an adaptor for this type of
thing?

you need to get a buslink usb-parallel cable. it has software with it
that you have to run in on your computer.

Magnusfarce,
You have 2 options here. You can add a PCI card (SIIG) that gives you a
parallel port, and there are adaptor converters. No idea how the adapter
will work.
 
go to google and type in (usb to parallel adapter).And you can see the
cable you will need.

Thanks, everyone. I guess a little more effort on Google would have paid
off.
