Q: Serial printer => USB (or => FW)

Morgan Ohlson

Is it possible to connect a serial printer to a laptop with no serial port?

Can any other port be adapted?

There are USB to serial converters available at low cost. See

(without the quotes).

Agree. My son bought me a serial to USB cable for
use with my GPS. Works like a charm, sends and
receives so don't know why it wouldn't work with a
printer.
