printer connection issue

[deebaglee]

hi i have Hp printer that only has a parrell port and a conpaq pc that only has usb connections how would i manage to link the 2 items
is there such a cable that would run as parrell and end with a usb connector?

I do believe the is an adapter,,, do a web search,, easiest way to find out.

There are USB to parrallel converter cables. You should be able to get one at Best Buy or any simular electronics store.

Just out of curiosity, I would appreciate if you kindly tell the model of this PC.

Judging by the printer prices, it would be more feasible to bu an usb printer instead of a converter?

Good luck,
