You can print with the USB to parallel cords without issue.

The issue is when you require anything more complex than printing.

I’m lookin got fix the problem, not prolong it.  
I would rather buy a used thinkpad with the port than pay  
Rofin $900 for each key.  
On top of that, there are other applications that we require a parallel port for, and  
it would be nice to not require our customers have one.
