I have a 9600 so don't have USB but want to get a new printer. What is the cheapest way for me to hook up my computer to a new Epson?

Thanks

Prices have come down on these.

The Keyspan card lists at 39.

<a href="http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/card/"; target="_blank">http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/card/</a>;

but it's for sale on buy.com for $15.82

Hope this helps.
