I'm 100% confused now.

I've never heard of a USB - parallel *cable*. Adapters exist but you need
special software to use them and only the very first of the printers came
with these cables (b/c they hadn't got around to making them USB-compatible
yet). And, usually this is only relevant to Windows computers since Macs
have never been parallel friendly.

Did you get this USB - parallel adapter with the printer?

I'm really curious now as to how you ended up with a USB - parallel adapter.

Eric.
