Old PC New Printer

Old PC New Printer

Old PC New Printer

(OP)
I have a 14 year old PC with only COM and parallel Printer ports. (No USB ports). Is it possible to connect a new printer to this old PC? I would need a DB25 parallel printer connector to USB adapter and then a driver that would install in the old PC to run the printer.

Any help is appreciated.

Didn't know they still sold those. Good find Mike!
