Hi,
Maybe you can help me! I have an Epson TM-88III printer on a parallel port, which I am trying to connect to the USB on my Windows 7 laptop. The lead driver installed ok, and the Printer driver installed ok, but the two are not reconsigning each other as being connected. What can I do?

Windows 7, 64-bit operating system. Followed the instructions but had to turn the computer off and on again twice between steps. So after step 6 and again after step 14 I had to turn the computer off and on again. Now it’s kind a functioning, but still I often face problems (again, mostly solved by turning off and on again…)

I just got a windows 7 machine have older laser printers (Lexmark 4039-12R & IBM Info print 20 4320-001) do you know if the ptr drivers are available so that I can use a USB to Parallel printer cable with these printers. Also I ordered XP mode as part of the windows 7 load. Does this help?

I got the printer to work by uninstalling it, then shutting down and restarting the computer.

It found the printer and previously installed drivers, and reinstalled them. Now it works.

I am trying to get an HP LaserJet 2100 to work on my new Gateway DX4870 computer with Windows 7. I have a USB to Parallel connector, there is a Generic IEEE-1284 driver installed, and I have downloaded and installed the printer drivers.
The printer is the default in Control Panel and Word recognizes it, but when I try to print something, nothing happens and I get an “Error-Printing” message in the dialong box.

Can anyone help me? Thanks

After a reboot the OS found an HP 6P and that works fine even though I have a 6MP.It works and that is all that matters.

The cable recommended did work mostly. I can get a page to print once, then everything gets stuck in the printing queue? I do not know what to do next.

I just upgrade from XP to Win7 and cannot get my Laserjet 6MP to work. I have a USB to parallel cable that worked fine in XP. Win7 only sees an unknown device. I tried installing the driver manually and it does not work. I also have a Deskjet 970Cxi that works fine. Do I need a different cable? BTY, I like your picture of Joseph.
