General curosity question:
Does anyone know of an adapter that lets you connect a usb printer to a computer's parallel port????
I've looked hard, but I can only find adapters that go "the other way" i.e. for connecting a parallel printer to a computer's usb port.
(This applies to networking since most routers with embedded print servers have parallel ports.)

I haven't seen any device like that yet. Like you said, you can find a parallel to usb, but not the other way. How about get a usb card for about $20, would it be easier than to look for a converter?
