Does anyone know of a USB to Mini Din (8 Pin) that will work to hoop up a SiPix A6 printer to a notebook that has no RS232 port

Thanks

Hi,
I always first look at TigerDirect:
USB Cables, USB to Serial adapters USB A to B connectors at TigerDirect.com (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=77)

The Mini-DIN era was MAC specific and was RS-422 rather than RS-232.. Some adapters would not work unless one had an active conversion. You can make some wiring changes convert it to Rs-232. Usually it worked.
