Problem:
There are so many people that have called us saying they just got a new computer and it only has usb ports and no parallel ports.  They still have their older printer that uses parallel so they have no way to connect it.

Solution:
As long as the printer is not an all in one printer (ex: does scan and/or fax) you can adapt the printer to the computer using our USB to Parallel adaptor so you can still use your older printer.  Unfortunately if your printer is a multifunction printer you can't adapt it using just the cable adaptor.

If you have a desktop then you can use a Parallel PCI card.  If you have a Laptop then you can use a PCMCIA parallel card.

If you have a Multifunction printer and a new laptop that only has the new express slot in it then I am really sorry but we haven't found a solution to this problem yet.  If you know of anything please let us know.

Quatech is coming out with an Expresscard Parallel adapter, however it (for obvious reasons) sold out quickly.  We are waiting to get them in and added.

Should be really helpful for a lot of people.
