Adapter that will allow a USB keyboard to plug into a tablet???

One big reason I wouldn't want a tablet is that aiui they have no jack
into which a full sized keyboard can be plugged.

But they do have jacks. Is there an adapter that will allow a USB
keyboard to plug into a tablet. Or perhaps a PS2 Keyboard. :-)

A lot of these things seem to take a couple years. Do you think
someone will make one soon or eventually?

Thanks.

I think you'd find that a Bluetooth keyboard is more convenient and will not
deplete your battery. If you have an Android tablet it should be easy. That
is what I do with my Android "PC on a stick".

That's a good idea. I googled and they're not expensive.

Do you think I could find a PS2 Bluetooth keyboard for my win95 laptop?

Thanks, and thanks Paul and Vanguard.

On that Nexus 7 tablet whose manual you pointed me to, the words print
and printer appear not once. I have a wireless printer on my WAN.
There must be a way to print to it, and without going though the cloud.

The reason is simple. Printing support was added in Android 4.4 last
fall so without updating the OS there's no printing support... Except
with maybe with a printer manufacturer's app.

Thanks Paul and Vanguard.

Okay, I see. So can the OS be updated?

Thanks
