Adapter Bidirectional Cable






Adapter Bidirectional Cable
Parallel printer adapter?

I have a an old HP laserjet 1100 printer, which I think has an IEEE 1284-compliant bidirectional parallel port, and a very new HP laptop, which doesn't have a parallel port, so I therefore can't connect my printer.

I've just found out that I can buy a USB to DB25 Female Parallel Converter, which would basically give me a new parallel port on my laptop and would solve my problems.

However I don't want to buy this online as I want to bring the cable and laptop in to make sure that it works.

Where can I buy this "USB to DB25 Female Parallel Converter"? I'm in San Diego.

I have worked on PCs/Laptops with similar changes. The converter is your least likely option. It is probably better to buy a IEEE to USB cable... new cable, since the converter in many cases will be doubtful to say the least.
In fact in all the similar situations I have seen, it works out better in terms of ease to just get a new Printer... too many headaches to overcome
