Question posted by piballew on June 20th, 2011

Scsi / Usb Cable Or Adapter?

I have a LaserJet 1100 that is running great and fits my needs. With my new job I was given a new Dell laptop, which has USB ports. I would like to continue to use my Laserjet 1100. I cannot seem to locate a solution. Are there either cables or adapters that would be able to solve my problem of hooking my printer (SCSI connection) to my new laptop (USB)?

There are a whole slew of manuals for this printer here http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/HP/1100/34285

This is an older printer, pre-USB. It only supports parallel connections.

The connection you are calling SCSI is NOT SCSI, it's an IEEE 1284 parallel port. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1284

What you will need is this: https://www.newegg.com/black-trendnet-0-ft-cable-connectors/p/N82E16812107958?cm_re=parallel_to_usb_converter-_-12-107-958-_-Product to allow a parallel printer to be connected to the USB port on the laptop.
