I hold a newer printer that's only get a usb connector. My slightly older wireless router have a print server and a parallel port. Ideally I'd like to enjoy the printer available to any computer connecting to the network lacking having to use print sharing via a one computer to be precise always on.
I don't have a sneaking suspicion that this is possible though since I can't find a connector that goes from a mannish usb to a parallel port. They seem to walk the other way around.
Usb printer connecting to a parallel port print server?
No such converter available, however DLink cause a nice little wireless/cat5 print server that works with USB.
Fraid it's any that or share it off a PC.
I don't consider you can convert LPT port to USB,
What you can do is : if your printer is new it must enjoy a nic card, connect it to your router via cat5 cable and it will take an IP address (this is your printer IP address) get underway the DHCP in your PC or Mac and join the printer ,(chose adding Printer via Network not a bit port) it will show up in your enumerate of printer to pick.
