Hp Laserjet 4200/4300 Series Printer

How to I connect my Laserjet 4200/4300 Series printer to my laptop? It was originally connected to my desktop with a huge cable with big silver connectors on each end. However, this cable won't fit my laptop. How do I make the connection to my laptop?

That big cable is most likely a parallel cable. (Does it look like this cable?) If you don't have a parallel port on your laptop, you'll need to buy one of the following to connect the the printer to your laptop:

- A cable or connector that will allow the parallel cable to connect to your laptop (such as a USB to Parallel cable).
- A JetDirect card for the printer that will allow it to connect using either an Ethernet or a USB connector.
