Actually OP noted that the computer is not on the network but the printer is:
“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.” “Printer is already conncted to the network, so cross-over is scratched out.” He also noted that he needed a Parallel to USB adapter, and got a bunch of people giving him links to USB to Parallel adapters.

I am leaning to install a USB adapter that supports USB 2.0, but am concerned about tbe other devices connected to the box, already. Don't mind taking the cover off to perform some minor sugery. Just don't want to lombotomize the patient in the process. Daniel On Apr 17, 2012 11:20 AM, "Ken Cornetet" <[email protected]> wrote: I don’t think such a thing exists, although I could be wrong. I think your best bet (provided this is a desktop machine) is to find a USB card that has Windows 98 drivers. Next best bet would be to install a second NIC and use a crossover cable to connect to the printer (set it up for a private IP space).

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.
