Thanks for the info.  I inherited the LJ1200 from a neighbor who's
company had provided for a home computer.  When they upgraded him, they
told him to recycle it, so I inherited it with no packaging or manual. 
I assumed the extant parallel cable was the only interface.  After your
note, I checked and there is indeed a USB port available on the
printer.  I've ordered a cable online and I'm sure I will have it
working easily when it arrives.

Many thanks,

Jim
