Following the death of my trusty old pc (circa 1990), i now have a brand new laptop, but my old printer will not connect to it 'cos the printer only has a parallel port and the laptop only has usbs.
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect the 2 ?
If not, can anyone suggest a cheap reliable printer that does not cost the earth in ink ?
p.s. 'cos of where the printer has to go, ideally both the paper feed and return must be at the front not at the top.
Any help or advice very greatfully received.

HTHIt could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.0 -
Very good offer on EBuyer for a Samsung laser, around £40 if I remember correctly.0
