Alright, that's not as helpful as it could have been but you did want simple!
One option is that you have a parallel port on the computer. Alhought they are getting rarer you can still buy printers with parallel ports (some have
USB and parallel) so maybe you could change your printer?
The only other way (unless I'm very mistaken) is to buy/steal/aquire a USB card from somewhere. You plug this into your motherboard and you'll then
get 4(approx) USB ports to use.
Hope that helps,
James
P.S. I'll see if I've got a USB card at home going spare!
