Lexmark X83 ????

I want to hook this printer up to the printer port on my SMC Barricade 7004BR router.
The problem is that the printer is USB only and the router is female DB25. Anyone know where
a cable for this could be found or what could be done to get things hooked up?

Thanks,

Nerg

You could buy a print server. If you have an old 486 or pentium computer lying around, you could install Linux and use it as a print server.

You could just hook it up to a windows machine and share it that way.... I know it's a hassle to leave the pc on all the time but my printer goes much slower if I have it hooked to my SMC's 25 pin than just up to my pc.

Here is a device that sells from overseas that looks like it would do what you want. I didn't see one right away from the US on Google, but I'm sure they sell em here also.

USB to Parallel Adaptor
