USB - Parallel

2005-01-03 Thread Matthew T. Atkinson 
'ello,

I need to connect to a printer that only has a parallel connection with
my PowerBook5,4.  Does anyone know of any supported adaptors?  I can
only see serial ones in menuconfig...

Any info would be very much appreciated.

bye just now, best regards,
