parallel to USB
I have been offered a nice working Okipage 8 ( mono laser printer ) that appears to be parallel ported. ( to me it looks very similar to a scsi port but just a tad smaller).
My question is whether I can buy just any old USB to parallel connector..as available in Peecee shops..or do I need to get the overpriced ( mac ) version of the same thing ?
Ps I run older late model jelly bean imacs & os 9.2.

I don't have that printer any more so I don't use it. I guess it will turn up on ebay at some point when i get time.

Yep, I looked at the Belkin Option..
Turns out, it might work.but according to a test I saw, it cuts Dpi down from 1200 to 600.
I guess it depends on what you want/need from your printer.
