So far as I know it doesn't work the other way. I did a google search for a cable that would connect a USB printer to a Parallel port, but did not find one. Another possibility would be to get a nice used parallel printer like an HP 6L personal laserjet. I have several 6L's that run and run. You can get one for $35-$50 on ebay if you look around. Contact me off list for further info. The adaptor cable itself, if there is one, would be $20 or more. Maybe someone else on the list has heard of the reverse type of cable.
