I have an HP 1100 laser printer that has the mini-centronix connection on the printer. I need a converter to go from mini-centronix -> USB or FireWire. I have found numerous regular centronix (parallel) to USB converters, but I need the mini converter. Is there such a thing? Can someone point me to a place?
