A friend of mine is considering switching from his Winblows 98 machine to
a B&W G3, but he wants to print to his own laser printer. Right now he
has an HP 6L, which is a Windows-only printer. I assume it connects via
the parallel port.

Could he buy a USB -> Parallel converter and use Powerprint to print to
it?

I told him to sell his 6L and get another one, but then it hit me- I
haven't heard of any USB laserprinters. Have any of you? I'd prefer not
to mess with adapters, but if he has to then so be it.

Thanks,
Eric
