USB to parallel converter.
I have one of these I use to connect an older printer to my PC. Will such a
converter work for all parallel devices? Peter.

It depends on the exact converter it is. There are several different
incarnations of the parallel port, includeing different speeds, two way communication, diff protocols etc. So with out knowing the exact device and converter it would be imposible to tell. However it is EXTREMELY unlikely you'd do any damage to anything you plugged in that wasn't compatible. So if you find some thing try it! Rob www.Totally-Hardware.co.uk "PVR" wrote in message ...

For those curious about the different modes (ECP, EPP, etc), this might be of interest: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...ectID=tis06188 To the OP: What type/model printer ?
