Printer connection to 600

Does anyone know of a mini-card that you can use in a 600 to connect a parallel printer cable?

Thanks

Do you mean in addition to the parallel port built into the 600?

Why not use the USB port if you're connecting a second printer?

James;
Thanks but you made me feel like a real dumb a**. I bought three of the 600's some time back and gave my step-daughter one to take to college. We have always ran them on the docking stations and she got tired of doing that. They had told her at Circuit City that they could get her a card for the printer hookup but I'm sure the only thing they had was probably the USB cards. They also told her that she couldn't use the Floppy drive and mouse. To make a long story a little shorter, I knew you could hook up an external floppy and mouse and should have known there was a parallel port, but I just flat out over looked it. Like I said, I feel real dumb, but you know, the older I get, seems like the more often that happens.

Thanks again[img][/img][/quote]

Dear JLM,

In a magnanimous act of charity I'll not belittle you for this obvious brainfa*t!

After all, none of US have ever overlooked the obvious or gotten bad info from from the uninformed.

Oh! Wait a minute! That's why we developed and support these Forums!

Never mind...... :wink:
