Yeah so I was having trouble locating the parallel cables for my new printer because all the ones I had were packed away.

Well I found a stack of them today while going through a couple boxes

Don't it figure:doh:

 

sure does?

 

That's good, now you have more. More is good. That is good.

 

People still use parallel cables n' shit?

 

so how many spares do you have now :chuckles:

 

8 spares h:

 

yes n shit.

Its more dependable than USB when sending large files to a printer unless you are using a network based printer

 

Ahhhh....nice to learn something new everyday n' shit. On top of that, I wouldn't mind my printer to use parallel because it's placed where there's not much slack on the usb cord...and it's a bitch to reconnect

 

Yeah I print multi meg image files and its a bit bulky for USB and I would rather not take a chance on burst rate cables. Since Parallel tends to flow quickly it drops it right into the buffer then there is no risk of losing the info halfway through a print job. It wouldn't be so bad except the paper being printed on is a bit expensive and the ink isn't too cheap either so every file printed right the forst time saves on final cost.

 

Iiiiiinteresting.
