    manual says is a serious problem.)


    I also bought a DB25F/RJ-45,Modular Adaptor http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=104&cp_id=10415&cs_id=1041501&p_id=1159&seq=1&format=2

    I know that having the right cable doesn't mean something will work.
    I once tried plugging the toaster into the kitchen faucet and that
    didn't work at all.

    Using this would mean plug it into the router and creating a node? for
    it. Any chance that would work to print from a router to a parallel
    port printer?


    I also recently bought a USB to Parallel(CN36 Male / IEEE1284)
    Converter Cable - 6ft >http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=103&cp_id=10311&cs_id=1031104&p_id=8658&seq=1&format=2


    Any chance I can under XP or Vista or 7 print to my parallel port
    printer with this cable?

    That will not work. Man you are all over the place !

    You will need on of the following...
    a USB to Centronics cable Ex: Belkin F5002 https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Belkin-6ft-USB-Parallel-Printer-Adapter/102767.aspx
    a USB Port Replicator that includes a Parallel Port Ex: TrendNet Tu2-ET200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817111468
    a Print Server such as a HP JetDirect 300X so yoy can print over TCP/IP http://www.amazon.com/J3263A-HP-Jetdirect-Ethernet-Server/dp/B0009HMXHW
    a PCI or PCI-X card with a parallel port http://www.jdr.com/product_p/mct-p1p-e.htm http://www.jdr.com/product_p/pcie-2s1p.htm
    a BlueTooth to Centronics Print Server such as the Premiertek BT-0260-V2 http://www.staples.com/Premiertek-Bluetooth-Combo-Printer-Adapter/product_IM1BH4840
    ( I use a MPI Tech G10089 BT Print Server )


    What gets me is that you won't even supply the make and model of the old
    laser printer or the make and model of the computer you are trying to print from. But you'll include; alt.comp.networking.routers in the query where
    this subject matter is Off Topic.

    There are so many solutions but you won't give details to narrow it down.
