    I quickly ordered a Lenovo 3000 C200 computer since my IBM T22 is showing more signs of impending death each day. I just looked at pictures of the sides of the C200 in the reviews and do not see anyplace to connect a printer! It never occurred to me to check to make sure I could connect a printer to a computer.
    Can anyone with a C200 tell me if there is a way to connect a printer to it? I now use a 25-pin connection.

    You no longer have a parallel port on most notebooks--you'll need something like this to connect.

    Thanks for the reply. As soon as it was no longer the middle of
    the night (when I posted my question) I called the source of most
    knowledge, my younger brother, who assured me, as you did,
    that cables are available that connect parallel ports on old printers
    to USB ports on new computers.
