Default Parallel Dongle to fit USB port

Hi,

I need to source an item that will allow me to plug a Parallel Dongle into a USB port.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark

Thats providing your software will still recognise the dongle through the usb port.

As bob269 says, USB to Parallel cables can be a bit iffy for things like dongles. Had issues with USB to Serial cables as well.
I take it you're motherboard doesn't have a connector for a Parallel port?

It's worth contacting the software vendor to see if they do a usb dongle, they are usually willing to exchange it free of charge seeing as you've paid for the licence of the software.

Also check whether you need drivers for it as well. Depending what the dongle is for of course.
