Can't get USB - IEEE1284 (LPT) adapter/printer installed in Windows 8
I recently bought a PC in Windows 8. I have a printer (HP DesignJet 220) with the single port LPT. I found and installed the printer driver 64 bits for this printer successfully and the printing device (DesignJet 220) shows up in my list of printers. (Note that I have a HP 1055 all-in-One connected by USB on this machine and it works fine.)
I bought and installed a USB adapter IEEE 1284 cable and Windows 8 recognizes the adapter (automatically, without having to load a driver). Problem - when I put the printer port in the window of the printer device to the port of virtual printing USB003, all the instructions I've read - nothing happens. I tried all USB ports and each port LPT in the list. Sometimes I print a test page and get an error that the printer's paper (it is not), and sometimes the printer test page is going nowhere - a few stays in the print queue. The function 'Enable bidirectional Support' is grayed out so I can't activate it (it appears as not controlled).
The IEEE-1284 device says no printer. When I try to change the printer driver in the IEEE-1284 device window, he said simply that the driver is up-to-date for the attached device (that he believes is 'none'). The printer is turned on and ready to print. At any time the printer indicates that it has received all the data (on this model there is a flashing on the control panel when the data is transmitted).
If I unplug the USB (on the adapter cable) to the computer, it is immediately recognized in the device window and the IEEE-1284 device is removed in the devices window. If I leave the USB plug in and unplug the Centronics connector at the printer, nothing happens.
How to make the printing device to connect to the USB port of the virtual printer? On the other hand, is the problem in the IEEE-1284 device and how to recognize the printer?
The problem is not the driver. The problem is the interface. Eight doesn't seem to work with most LPT drivers. I tried two so far. In addition, these interfaces are so old that most manufacturers ceased to provide drivers after Vista. I tried an interface card (no luck) then a converter USB to LPT. Eight did not recognize either. I think the more specific question is if windows 8 supports parallel interfaces.

It is the responsibility of the manufacturer/peripherals to create drivers for their products for operating systems, the manufacturer wants their products to work with. Therefore, it is suggested that you contact the support site of the device manufacturer to obtain the latest drivers for Windows 7, if they are available.

How can I get my Toshiba laptop to print to my HP 4500 printer wireless?
* Original title: install a wireless printer
How can I get my Toshiba laptop to print to my HP 4500 printer wireless?
Hello pastor,
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
Thank you for your query details.
I also like the fact you want to set up a wireless printer.
When you connect a printer to your computer, or add a new printer to your home network, you can usually start printing immediately. Windows supports most printers, and you'll probably go out your way to install the special printer software. If you use Windows 8.1 or 8.1 RT Windows, additional printers and drivers are available through Windows Update.
I suggest you follow the steps in these articles and check if it helps.

I can't get my 4110 fujitsu scanner to work on windows 7
I can't get my fujitsu scanner 4110 to run on windows 7 appears as unknown device, drivers not found I have trried on fujitsu support site, has no drivers for windows 7,
I guess that if Fujitsu do not a W7 driver for their own scan, it is probably not a.
I found that can help if you have the qualification of W7 version, where few people apparently got the 4120 (which has either a W7 driver) running in XP mode - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/how-to-install-fujitsu-fi-4120c-scanner-on-windows/f38cc5ec-9a2b-47b5-bca4-a7096d6c3086?page=1
As in:
"2. I got this scanner works in Windows 7 64-bit edition via Windows XP Mode."
No I didn't install any driver for the scanner on the base OS, and when I entered the windows XP mode, until I clicked on the menu USB and attached the scanner, I installed the latest Windows XP TWAIN of Fujitsu package. Reboot the machine virtual and then fixed the scanner. He finds the drivers and fortunately is scanning now. Fully functional. " and similar. -

How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?
Hello Bob Zientak,.
If a password is required to log on your system, then you won't be able to cirumvent it. Unfortunately the users of this forum are also not allowed to suggest ways to help you bypass (hack) the password (3668Microsoft Terms and Conditions).
Remember passwords are case sensitive so maybe that you type a password in the case of bad? Did you create a password recovery disk when you created your password first? If Yes, then you must insert the password recovery disk to allow you to change the current password. If you did not create a password recovery disk then the next and more radical, opion is to re - install Windows.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
