subject: USB to Parallel Scanner?

AA>Does anyone know a source for USB-toParallel port adapters that are

AA>system that is not cooperating with a older parallel port scanner anymore.  A
AA>"updated XP driver" for the scanner has not resolved the
parallel port problem
AA>- it does not function since the computer had XP installed.

Unless the scanner in question is really super duper I'd forget it and
buy a new scanner. Scanner (GOOD ONES) prices have dropped to a point
where it doesn't make much to bat one's head against a wall trying to
make an older one work with XP.
