Dear Lazyweb

My Grandfather bought a new computer, which apparently has no parallel ports. He has an older model HP Laserjet, which apparently has no USB ports, but has a parallel port, and an E10 port (I have no idea what an E10 port is, do you?).

Is there anything I can do or buy to make his old printer work with his new computer?

If there's a wifi network, you can get a Centronix-to-WiFi adapter, which has a built-in printer server. Fairly easy to set up. However, if it's one of the really old HP LaserJets, big and boxy, that has a side panel that pops off for the connection plugs, you're going to have to get a Centronix male-to-female extension for it. (I have one of these, and need the extension cord myself for the old LaserJet that I have, because it won't fit otherwise.)
