You can do it if the printer has an ethernet port, or if you have an independent print server that you can attach it to.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, not so much. Just the USB and parallel ports. And I've just got the router.

For Epson printers there's a box you can buy with ethernet on one end and parallel on the other. Works great.

Ah. Cool. Thanks.
Costs more than its worth for me, though. But, good to know

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Only British iPods, if it's anything like the rest of the Beeb's plan to offer their content digitally. (The idea being that the TV license should grant a wider range of usage rights than is currently available through the television.)

Verizon Unlimited Broadband Access: $59.99/month.
Anyone used it? Know of its goodness?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hey, all. I'm doing some data-moving and discovered I am over my head.
I have an old PC and a new PC, and would like to just move stuff from the old to the new (and can't use floppies or CDs, and the old guy's modem is prehistoric). Have two parallel ports, and a parallel port cable. Have plugged these helpful doohickeys into each other.
Went to look up what to do next, and ran into way more in-depth blah-blah than I think I need, but I don't know where to look for simple "click on this this and this, drag and drop" instructions. Alternatively, I'd be OK with simple DOS commands. I can wrap my brain around the idea of calling up the old machine, via the cable, and telling it to send me stuff; I just can't quite find the right Google terms for "okay, in this one instance you are allowed to treat me like an idiot."
