Printer and usb cableMy lazer printer uses one of those old style large plug thingies, I really don't know what the propper terminology is for it, the cable the runs between the printer and the computer. The new laptop doesn't have a large style port to plug it in so now I can't use the printer. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy an adapter or a cable that has a small style usb plug on the one end (for the laptop) and the larger style plug on the other end (for the printer). I've checked the printer and there's nowhere to plug in the smaller style plug so I can't use the cable from my newer ink jet printer which has the small style plug on both ends. The printer is only 3 years old and I don't want to have to buy a new one just yet as it's working perfectly well.
