Can you connect a USB printer to a parallel port (on a SMC router/print server) e.g. using a parallel-to-USB cable?
I am happy with my router but would like to get a new printer, all of which have USB connectivity these days.
I can find loads of answers to the reverse problem (parallel printer on USB port) but nothing about the above situation.
