And that may be the rub, John. This printer is so bloody old; at least 10
years. But it was a loaner (they had no use for it, obviously) so my only
investment was for toner and fusers

Sounds like a good excuse to go out and buy a decent printer. Heck, might
even get one with a scanner/copier; but, then, I wouldn't have an excuse to
bother my sister at work!

Subject: Re: [PCTECH] Parallel to USB

You might also want to make sure the printer has Win7 drivers before trying
the parallel-USB adapter. Some peripheral manufacturers used the change in
driver models that occurred when Vista came out (further refined by Win7 &
8) as an opportunity to end support for older models (in an attempt to spur
new sales).

Is there a balun/dongle/whatever that can attach a parallel printer

I have loads of USB ports! I hate "upgrades"!
