    Parallel to usb

    Guys,
    For work I use some devices that use a parallel port (eprom burners, plc programers, etc). My work laptop and now my work desktop no longer have parallel ports. Does anyone have an idea how to add a parallel port to a pc? I purchased a USB port replicator from Inland, but its garbage (its parallel port will only work with a very limited numbers of printers). Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Buy a parallel port card and stick into an expansion slot.

      They are cheap. We bought them for use at work when our new Intel boards came in without any parallel port, but some teachers refused to give up their 10+ year old deskjet printers. Problem solved.

        Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
