Just looked at a couple of USB add in cards on Newegg that claimed to be Windows 98 compatible. You said the printer is already on the network? What kind of printer is it - does it support having the USB and network connections in use simultaneously? Not all do.

But no cigar. This device still plugs into the computer on the USB Side. What I am looking for is somthing that plugs into the parallel connector on the PC Side and then to the USB port on the printer. Thanks, though.

But, is there a 25 pin Parallel to USB Interface Cable? I have an old PC that is running Windows 98 SE, and I need to replace the printer. It's not on the network, else I could print to the new printer via IP. Plus, management doesn't want it on the network. Anyone seen an animal like this? And if so, who carries it?
