Can anyone recommend a cheap USB to serial Adaptor?

I need to hook up a HP Deskjet 600 to an iMac but I don't want to pay big bucks to do so. Not when I can get a new USB printer at Walmart for $50.

Prices for Belkin adaptors seem to run between $50 and $80. I could maybe afford $25 and less would be even better.

Help gratefully received and reciprocated if possible.

Tony

I've never seen an adapter below $50. The best one in my opinion is the Keyspan adapter, but it's around $70-$80. I think you are better off with a new printer for price and performance.
