LPT Printer to USB Adaptor?

[Brangwen]

Colleagues:

Is there any such critter? I have a LPT Port color printer on one system, and LPT laser printer (B&W) on other. Sometimes I need to print color off "laser printer" computer, and USB interface would be nice. I don't color print enough to justify a second color printer. Has anyone heard of and/or used a USB adaptor for this purpose?

Thx!

You may want to contact the manufacturer of your printer to verify compatability before dropping $70(same price as cheap color printer) on something like this. I would think that many printers would have trouble with it due to their limited drivers. I must say, it is a cool device though.

So...

Comp A has color ptr
Comp B has B&W ptr

Comp B needs to print color. Correct? Are these two comps networked? Could they be? That solution costs about $30 or less.
