need help mini centronics 36

Hp used to make a minicent to usb adapter, check their site see if they still have it, if not, get a mincent to parallel, then a female cent to parallel, and a gender changer, plug the minicent --> printer --> gender changer --> parallel with female cent --> usb to parallel adapter cable. Crappy way to do it but it would work. Also google minicent or high density parallel and see if you can find a direct adapter somewhere.

Mini Centronics uses the same signal as the big Centronics cable used in traditional parallel port printers. So if you can't find a Mini Centronics to USB adapter, you can use a Mini Centronics to Centronics adapter, and a Centronics Pallel to USB adapter.
