Jackie, turning this around, do you have any experience of USB to parallel converters?

Hi Carol Parallel to USB converters are not that great to be honest, they certainly didn't work when I wanted to use one on a PowerBraille display. I hope you have more luck with your printer. Generally speaking, all printers now seem to come with USB, and you can get some using Bluetooth or which network. It's been a long time since I bought a printer, (smile).

Hi all, Well, My old desktop has, at least for the moment, given up working and I need to use my parallel printer. My laptop only has a USB option so, can I get a converter at a reasonable price? If so, any details would be most welcome. In addition, if I need to go for a new printer, as I have WiFi in the house, should I consider a WiFi or USB connection printer? It would be good to have details, please, of any models which you really like and are fully useable for a totally blind person. Thanks. -- Carol P would be good to ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
