JTM Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 We have an oldish printer from our last computer that uses a serial cable. Now the laptop only has USB. Is there any way of making them work>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Im pretty sure the printer will be parallel and not serial. You can buy Parallel>USB converters :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 We have an oldish printer from our last computer that uses a serial cable. Now the laptop only has USB. Is there any way of making them work>? Just had a quick look and it seems that it'd be cheaper to get a new printer than a usb to serial converter.
