Just go a new Dell Vostro 220S but it has no parallel port and my Epson
TMIIV is parallel port driven? Anybody have any suggestion as to what low
profile PCI parallel port card I could buy to make this work or should I
change the Epson adaptor to USB?

I have always had great success with Star-Tech's products.

I'd convert the printer to USB. Epson makes a converter card to switch
between parallel, USB and serial.

That would be right up my alley. I have a TM-T88IV with a parallel (RS-232)
interface, and I would dearly love to change it to a USB interface.

I looked on the Epson main site and EpsonExpert site, and didn't see any
place to order parts for the TM-T88IV. I even searched for the part number
(C32C823991) on thier site, and no joy. A Google search shows a slew of
third-party companies selling it, though.

Epson and USB,

Depending on how you are using your epson printer you may experience some
issues, if you are using your epson printer as a OPOS and usb you may get
Uknown error when trying to print anything. There is no fix for this other
than using the windows driver, but if you are using the cashdrawer conneted
to the printer this is not a good option either. best option install a PIC
LPT card
