Got a laptop a few months back (Packard Bell with Wi-Fi etc.) Used to have an older PC without internet etc - good for Word documents and printing and that is about all. I do not have a printer with my new laptop and was wondering if I could do the following:

The Canon BJC 250 printer that I have has the old male/ female type connection that would plug into the back of the PC tower and my laptop has all new USB ports. Is there any way I can get a connector or similair that would let me use my old printer and thus bin my old **** computer that is currently taking up space needlesly in the spare room?

Thanks in advance.

You could get something like this:

It should do the trick. I take it your laptop hasn't a parallel port?

Perfect!!! For the record, no, my laptop only has USB ports, 4 of them.
