Connect a HP 1210v GATEWAY 2000 P5133? No port for small rectangular end, only wired teeth ports. Thanks. Want to use this floppy disk computer for word processing and reviewing disks. Thanks.

Well, your printer has only a USB 2.0 connection and from the sound of it, your computer only has either a SERIAL and\or PARALLEL Ports.
Easily and cheaply remedied though. You can buy a 5 Port USB 2.0 PCI card for only $6.25. I've installed many of them and they work great.

You can't without modifying the parts and even then there is a chance they are not compatible. Gateway, HP, Compaq are one of the few companies that have customized hardware so that you have to buy their stuff. This is why many of your geeks out there build their own systems. That way they can put mostly anything they want in the system.
