    Yeah going to get a Lexmark X75 multifunction printer.
    Want to know if anyone here owns this and if so can you tell me if it has a parrallel port?

    Because right now I have a smc barricade 7004abr router with a print server parallel port connection, using a Lexmark z51. But I see this printer has USB connection, not sure if their is a parallel port on that printer. Anyway to just make a usb printer printer on a router that just has a parallel port connection?

    Oh I know I could probably use ICS to share the printer,but I like the print server because A i don't have to turn on one computer to print from another.
    Is their some kind of a adapter for this?

    According to Lexmark, it is USB-only.

    There is no way I know of to convert USB to LPT; your print server probably can't be used.
