buying a new printer could be a rather good solution. Sometimes one simply gives up.

I just got a new Dell computer with only a USB port for the printer while my old bjc 250 has a 21 pin cable. what is the best way if there is to connect these. I tried a converter cable USB to 21 pin but cannot get it to recognize the printer.
Any help?
thanks marinus
