I have a Canon BJC250 printer which may work with XP. But my new computer doesn't have a parallel port. Are adaptors available? The printer has one advantage, the paper/card path is flat, and not wrapped round a cylinder.

do a search on ebay for a usb to parallel lead, should get one for about a fiver or less
not sure how reliable they are as i have never used one, sorry

We use a USB to parallel for our Laserjet and they work just fine.

MC,

About £10 or £12 anywhere:

Thanks everyone, I assumed it was an outlandish idea so I didn't search.
