Connecting older LaserJet to newer Photosmart

[Tayt]

I have an HP LaserJet 1100A that was connected to a Dell Desktop via its "pin" cord.  Also have a HP Photosmart 6520 Inkjet All-in-One that was connected via wireless to both the Dell Desktop and my MacBook Air.  Dell Desktop no longer works, so I'm left with the MacBook Air & HP Photosmart 6520 to print.  Is there any way, i.e. an adaptor, that would allow for the "pin cord" of the HP LaserJet 1100A to be connected to either the HP Photosmart 6520 or the MacBook Air, so that I could continue using the LaserJet in a wireless environment?  Otherwise, it does make for an OK copy machine.  Many thanks,

Tayt

Not easy but can be done. What you need is an external wireless printserver with a parallel port. You will also need if you do not already have a mini centronics printher cable that goes to a standard parallel port. Below are links to both items you need.

Many thanks.  Have the necessary cable (HP product made in China) and will get the Hawking.
