| Help - HP Laserjet 4000n Parallel port Hi: I'm going crazy here. I have Vista 64 Ultimate & Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe board. I have tring to hook up a HP 4000n printer with a parallel port. It just won't work. I have tried everything including downloading 64 bit drivers, changing the parallel port settings in the bios, etc. I suspect it has something to do with the port because the printer does not respond at all to anything I do. Any suggestions are appreciated. |

| Re: Help - HP Laserjet 4000n Parallel port From a picture I found I can tell if the parallel port is built in or ribbon cabled to one of the connectors If the port is on a vertical card, I'd crack the case and make sure the cable is seated and pin one is oriented properly. Also check the parallel cable that you are using to connect to the printer or use the same cable/printer on another machine to confirm good. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

| Re: Help - HP Laserjet 4000n Parallel port As a PS, I would use a IEEE certified or IEEE compliant cable with any HP LaserJet printer. Even IEEE compatible cables can cause problems. -- Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "Greg81" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:92b93e065e7b685ac28942a8fbf27d61@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| Re: Help - HP Laserjet 4000n Parallel port So am I. This is one of those issues that can drive someone nuts until there are another set of eyes on the problem.
