I was thinking that might be the only way, too. The IT department here thinks it may be better to give me a computer with a parallel port instead of dealing with the converter. They said that sometimes the connection is weakened because of the conversion process. I don't know if this is true or not; it makes a little sense. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not? Thanks.
