Parallel to USB Convertor?

Locked

by ob_vasudevan · about 21 years, 5 months ago

My PC doesn’t have a USB port to connect a printer/scanner ? Is there a convertor for a Parallel port to USB port, so that I can use the printer/scanner?

  I recommend that you get a USB addon card. Since converters may cause you problems in the long run. go to http://www.usbtown.com and checkout the prices. Also they sell converters to.
