I love my printer but my new laptop has no port for me to plug in the printer. So unfair.

Is your printer a Parallel? There is a cable that you canbuy that converts from USB to PARALLEL. It cost like 20bucks no more.

Hi,
Yes there is an adapter. I dont know what kind of printer you got.
But most of the old pc use the Parallel port.
So here is a link to the adapter for you. Even if this is not the cable that you need browse this site it has many other cables. I'm sure the cable that you need is on this site. :)

If you have a desktop computer you could connect it to your desktop system and share the printer making it available to your laptop. You could also get a wireless print server to have your printer connected wireless.
