The printer from the past


One your associates uses a very old printer to process some important company forms. They recently replaced her computer with a new laptop that does not have the required parallel port connection. Which of these would be your best option to allow your associate to use both their new computer and the old parallel-port-connected printer?

A) Convert the parallel cable to a USB cable

B) Use a laptop docking station that has a parallel port

C) Use her old computer to connect to the printer and share the printer on the network

D) Connect a new printer and use the old application in its current form

E) “Accidentally” drop a bowling ball into the printer. How unfortunate.
