    Hi!

    Is there any inexpensive way to get old printer, Canon BJ10EX, to work with Acer 4601wlmi? This old printer uses paraller/printer port. I really would like to get it to work because it is very light and small - easy to carry along.

    Ports that Acer has:

    I haven't looked at cost, but I imagine the easiest thing would be a parallel to USB converter.
