My problem is that I was given a PrimaScan 2400 Scanner as a gift, but this scanner does not have UBS cables. My computer does have UBS outlets, but because I've had to set it up according to the old "parallel port" method, the scanner will not operate.

: : : : : : Is there any way I could find an interface that could connect with the old cables, but fit into the UBS ports?
