| | Parallel to USB Cable Installation I am trying to use a SYBA USB to Parallel Cable to support my Color LaserJet 5 printer underVISTA. I checked SYNA and they stated support for only SPP mode but don't know where to change to SPP mode. Also, is there a special driver to change theinterface from Parallel to USB? I also tried using the installed Manhattan Parallel Port card but the result is always the same - data is loaded into the printer and then disappears without printing and no errors. |

| | Re: Parallel to USB Cable Installation You are going to have to install Vista drivers for that printer. It's old enough I don't know if there are any. Visit the HP site, and look for Vista drivers for that model. The converter may - I have no experience with such a beast - also require Vista drivers. Good luck "phil allen" <philallen@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F12605E9-A6F6-49A8-8D47-05EC91ED2233@xxxxxx Quote: >I am trying to use a SYBA USB to Parallel Cable to support my Color >LaserJet > 5 printer underVISTA.

| | Re: Parallel to USB Cable Installation I have an older HP LaserJet 2100xi that uses a parallel port. I bought a USB to Parallel adapter (from Belken I think), connected it to my HP printer and it worked with no additional drivers. It recognized my printer immediately and worked - with one caveat. When I would print a document the first page seem to come out with garbage but the subsequent pages printed fine with no loss of data.
