I have an old HP deskjet 350cbi with only a parallel port and infrared capability. My new laptop only has a USB port. Salespeople told me that I have no other option but to buy a new printer -- but, I did an internet search, and saw a D-Link USB-Parallel, Mini-Port Replicator, & ParalleltoUSBConverter. Would any of these units or another unit help me to use my old printer with my new laptop? I'd appreciate yr kind advice! Lela
