What would be the chances that thing is a usb device internally, and 
that the usb<->parallel adaptor is in fact a seperate item that

In terms of operating speed, Mario would be far better off to go

the dealer is amenable and wants a happy customer.  I'd assume that 
wherever Mario is, there is also a 1260u available.
