I still have a Canon BJC-240 color inkjet printer which I use for non-pretty print jobs. Trouble is, it's got a parallel port and cable (the 25-pin type). Technology has moved so far past me that this new machine doesn't even have a parallel port on its back. I had to go down to Circuit City to get a USB-to-Parallel cable ($33) to make it work.
The Compaq only has two USB ports on its front; there are four in the back, but they're not easily reached, so I had to get a 6' long cable and move the printer in order to plug it in back there. I want the front two free for the camera and other devices.
Fortunately, the installation was flawless and quick.
