Trying to connect an old HP printer with a 25 pin connector.
Are there adaptors for this type of connector for the newer computer?

They exist: Canada USB parallel adapters, USB computer parallel adapters at TigerDirect.ca (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=471&name=USB%20Parallel%20Adapter)

Not sure how well they work.
