| 213301 | 2004-02-06 21:36:00 | Does your Printer have a Parallel port that you want to connect to a USB port? If so, this should be OK. Bye |

| 213302 | 2004-02-06 21:39:00 | No idea? What options are available for your Canon 3000? They will be either Parallel (centronics), USB or Serial RS232. But which? What ports are available on your Inspiron Laptop? (many types of Inspiron, and many options within each type, so how can we guess)? Again the laptop will use either or all of Parallel, USB or Serial. But which? |

Should you be advised on this forum to purchase the cheap item and it is not the solution then you may feel mislead. Should you be advised on this forum not to purchase the cheap item and it is the solution then you may feel mislead. The gospel according to Bill GATES: RULE 1 Life is not fair; get used to it. RULE 2 The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. RULE 3 You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both. RULE 4 If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure. RULE 5 Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity. RULE 6 If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. RULE 7 Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try 'delousing' the closet in your own room. RULE 8 Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. RULE 9 Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time. RULE 10 Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. RULE 11 Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. |

| 213305 | 2004-02-06 22:57:00 | A picture is worth a thousand words! Well done. Basically you only have USB available on the laptop. The printer uses Parallel only. What we don't know is if the printer uses a Centronics connector. Its probable that it does however. That being the case, the adapter/cable would fit. As to if it would work, thats another issue and is determined by the way the adapter is made and the ability of the printer software to use a "virtual" parallel port that the cable/adapter provides. Dick Smith Electronics have a USB adapter to Parallel and Serial available for $57. You would still need your standard printer cable to connect to it, the advantage is you could take it back if it didn't work. This information is provided in good faith in spite of Merlins cautions.... |
