Is there an adapter that will let me use a PC printer with a parallel port with my Mac? I know about PowerPrint, but afaik, that requires you to use third party drivers, and might not access any of the more advanced features of the printer

Thanks

There are some available, but they cost around $80. It's more worth it to get a new USB printer.

Actually, the difference for me is that I want a printer with a duplexer; the best ones that I have been able to find have parallel and network connections only. So the only way I can connect them to my MAc is to either buy the network model, or find a paerallel adapter. Since the network model is a lot more expensive, I thought I'd look into adapters.

Could you tell me where these adapters you allude to are available?

Thanks
