Problem with printer port

3 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/problem-with-printer-port.94091/

Hi all,

I have an ASUS M2N-E motherboard. The problem is that there is not the usual backside connection for the printer port.. instead the connections are here, as shown in fig. Looks like I will need some kind of connector which fits into those pins on one side and can be mounted in the usual way as a printer port on the backside.

Any help would be appreciated.

Your motherboard does not have the standard parallel port at the back. Tough luck. But it does have a header for a parallel port on the motherboard. Ask your dealer if he has the proper connector.

I hope there are connectors for parallell port to USB that would be helpful if you find for your printer, besides what is the model for your printer and look if it has port for connecting through USB.

I had seen in HP Laserjet 1100 series, it had both parallell and USB.
