Hello, All.

My Christmas present was a new Dell Dimension E521. Pretty nice, but
uses USB for peripheral devices, including mouse, keyboard, and printer.

I do have one printing device here with USB support, but my sweet wife
wants it to be over there on _her_ computer. My other printers here all
use parallel port.

I've found USB to Parallel adapter cables for sale at Ebay fairly
reasonably priced.

Anything I particularly need to look out for?

Will I be able to just hook up one of my parallel port printers to the
computer via the cable, and have WinXP-Media center recognize it and the
printer work OK?

FWIW, my first candidate printers for this are HP Laserjet 4L and 6L.

... Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're _not_ out to get you.
