Parallel pc to usb b connection

[SuRichardson]

I am trying to connect a dell printer which appears to have a socket for a USB B connection to an older pc which has a parallel printer port. Please can anyone tell me what cable I need to connect the two and where I can get hold of one. I have a cable for a parallel printer to a usb pc but need the other way round, and with the smaller squarer "B" connection to go to the printer.

sorry Sue,

The link i gave you only takes you to the first page of the Maplin catalogue
From the first page click on cables then select computer cables from the list on the left hand page.

There are 2 adapters that you can choose from. Do check the pin format of the adapter with that on your PC .

Best of luck
