My son would like to us a USB printer, but his motherboard doesn't have
a usb port. Has anyone used a PCI usb addon card with Redhat Linux? If
so did it work? Any suggestions as to what brand to buy? Any help with
this would be appreciated. He doesn't have the money to upgrade his
motherboard. So the card seems to be his only option. Unless there is
some kind of adapter that will attache the USB to a Parallel port and
make it appear as a parallel printer to Linux. The printer he is looking
at is supported by Linux.
 

Thanks
Mike M.
