Trying to use a parallel printer on USB
Hi
I've been trying to set up my Canon BJC-80 (parallel) to work on my Dell Laptop (XP) that only has USB ports. I've installed the drivers but I cant get it to print. I've tried setting the port to LPT 1 and USB Virtual printer port but no joy. Any tips would be very welcome. Thanks Dave |

Re: Trying to use a parallel printer on USB
Forgot to say, I'm using a USB to Parallel cable.

Verify this first and then install the printer, using the appropriate XP driver, selecting that LPT port, and _not_ the USB port. The USB port is only used as physical connection, the driver "sees" only the LPT port. I hope this printer is still supported by XP. -- Veel plezier, Bert |
