Re: Parallel to USB

Rick, my old printer, which I shuffled to a family member when I upgraded
to the 8600, was an 8500. I had no problems faxing using my VOIP-based
landline. I didn't do it often but the feature did work. Perhaps your
VOIP provider doesn't support it or there was something marginal in the
signal when you tried it. (Fun fact: The RJ11 cable I use is one of the
old IBM cables they provided with AS/400 modems, 25 or so feet long &
complete with the toroid on one end.)

I have not had to fax from our 8600 yet so I can't confirm one way or the
other.

Can these printers fax over VOIP phone lines? I have an 8500 series
printer and it won't fax over my VOIP line.

If this is for home/SOHO usage, I like the HP OfficeJet 8600 family. You
can get them for $120-150 and they do the print/scan (including
OCR)/copy/fax, have good speed, duplex, etc. Connect via USB, Ethernet, or
WiFi.

The 8000 family's advantage over lower end/cheaper units is that they're
more efficient on ink usage. So they're cheaper to operate.

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!

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

parallel port?
I have loads of USB ports! I hate "upgrades"!
