USB to Parallel Adapter

Vendor Model Comments
Belkin USB parallel port This device was reported to work under OS/2 by Mike Maksimik.

He tested this device under OS/2 and it worked great, in the same fashion as the 970Cse. The parallel port, however, doesn't provide any printer information so the driver can't decide which printer driver you actually want to use.

PC Concepts Printer USB cable Adapter This will allow non-USB printers to be connected to a USB port. We tested this adapter with Lexmark ExecJet II and it works fine.
PC Concepts USB PTR; USB-1284 Printer-Adapter Wolfgang told me this adapter works fine with the USBPrint Driver.

USB to PS/2 Adapter

Vendor Model Comments
Generic USB-to-PS/2 adapter This allows to plug a dual USB/PS2 mode keyboard or trackball/mouse into the PS/2 port. Not every USB keyboard or mouse supports PS2 model and can be used with this adapter (Logitech iFeel mouse is an example). Also you can't use this adapter with any other types of USB devices (including hubs).
