George, I know you set up loads of them. For instance I know that we at
Action have had to ask you many times about such things. We try and persuade
people not to use them, but they obviously take absolutely no notice at all!
Cheers
Alex

Alex, Like many products, some are good, some are bad, and when they are
bad, they are VERY bad.
But trust me, we've set up dozens of the Maplin ones I've mentioned, and
they have been faultless.
George.

Richard, I don't, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that they're not
very good, but that was some time ago.

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).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Subject: [access-uk] PARALLEL TO USB CONVERTER?
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.
