USB to "anything" adapters are always dodgy. One may work OK with
one piece of equipment but not with another. A better (and
cheaper) solution is to pick up a PCI Parallel Port card. SIIG
makes good ones, I use a SIIG Duet PCI Parallel Card to expand my
parallel ports from LPT1: through LPT3:. It uses a single
slot/connector and has a nice breakout cable for the two parallel
ports. Very handy. Price should be from $10 for a single cheapie
port to $50 for a deluxe multi-port model.
