Convert a 940c HP parallel usb printer?
Can I convert a 940c HP parallel usb printer?
There is a USB port at the 940c Deskjet printer right next to the parallel port. You can simply remove the parallel cable and install a standard A / cable USB B.
Depending on your operating system, you may need to install the drivers for the printer before connecting the USB cable.

HP DeskJet 400 with parallel/USB adapter and Ubuntu doesn't print correctly
as in the topic, then print at the start of the printer green LEDs start flashing when it start to print:
-Sometimes, the printer turns off
-Sometimes, the printer starts to print, but at some point, it seems random, he stops and turns off
-rarely printing is completed successfully.
Anyone experienced this?
The parallel/usb converter worked correctly with windows for 2-3 years.
Thanks to all who can help me.

DeskJet 2540: cannot convert mac wireless usb printer
Hello
I'm having a problem setting my printer all-in-one Deskjet 2540 on my macbook (osx El Capitan). After basic implementation through usb connection, I was able to connect my printer to my router, which makes possible wireless printing. I was then able to print wireless from my phone using remote control all-in-one app.
However, I now want my macbook to establish a wireless connection to the printer instead of the usb connection that is used for configuration. I can't find the option to convert a usb printer to a printer that is connected to the wifi. When disconnecting from usb, laptop computer notes the connection with the printer is lost. To install my printer, I use the HP Utility software, in which I can't find such an option. Also, when passing through Apple-> system-> printers and scanners preferences I can't find an option "convert to wireless. I also read a method via Finder-> applications-> HP and then an icon for installing the software & should be there? In my case, there is only the HP Utility icon which directs me to the same program in which I could not find the option.
What I was looking for, and where can I find it?
Might be a little exaggerated description, but I hope that this makes it extremely clear...

Can't get HP 2100 M configured as USB printer
Recently, I upgraded my systey (Dell, Vista 64-bit) and can't get my HP 2100 M laser printer configured correctly. The new system has only USB ports, no connection to printer port, so I went thr cable to a USB/parallel printer cable.
Vista does not recognize the device. That is, the plug and play is not can not confiugre the printer correctly.
I downloaded the latest drivers from HP HP and point to them during installation. Installs the printer, but not properly because it does not work.
After installation, a few times when I do a Print Test Page, the page just sets in the queue of the printer, and a few times the page disappears.
When I do an add printer, there is no "Virtual printing Port for USB" port to connect the printer to.
Any ideas or suggestions. These USB cables are all the same. I had to run once (do not know how or why), but now, not at all. I spent 2 days trying to get it configured.
Ron in Round Rock
Are you sure that the printer is compatible with your version of Vista http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/ and that you use the correct drivers?
Most likely the driver for the USB parallel cable is not installed correctly. Go to your device manager, find the cable to printer USB, right click and uninstall. Then, unplug the USB cable and install the drivers before plugging back in. Then plug, you should get the ToolTip "new hardware found" and be in good shape (at least for cable).
You can't add a printer to a UsB printer - it should automatically detect and guide you through the installation process without requiring you need to select a port (it will do so automatically). I suspect that the problem is the cable and once you set, the installation of the printer will run smoothly. USB devices are generally very easy to install because of this. Then again, you get to install (although I don't know correctly) so I wonder f it may really be the cable - but we'll see).
I hope this helps. Keep me in the loop.
Good luck!

Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III
Hi all
I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.
I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.
A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hello
Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)
The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:
-Update your BIOS
-Update all the drivers for your machine
-Update your printer drivers
-Update your operating systemIf all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.
Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)
I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...
Welcome them

USB printer not detected on satellite series?
Hello
Have a laptop Toshiba Equium and today I bought a printer from a different manufacture.
USB cable is not supplied with the printer (not good things) and so had to buy a.Laptop does not accept the USB cable saying something like USB isn't signwritten with the laptop?
I have no idea what has happened?I'm sure that the printer is 100% and the USB's all nine... the majority of the facility took place until this problem is with the USB
The laptop never had a printer connected before in 18 months of ownership.Any help!
Thank you
Hello
First of all, you must make sure that you bought a straight cable and which is compatible with the laptop.
My sister uses a USB printer and the cable that she bought looks like this;[USB 2.0 printer cable | http://images.tigerdirect.com/skuimages/large/C184-4000_U_6-main.jpg]
But the note man; You should check this printer installation instructions.
Sometimes the driver (shipped with the printer) must be installed before you connect the printer to the computer!What you could do to first remove the USB ports, controllers from Device Manager and reboot the laptop.
After restarting again the USB ports must be installed again.After this short stage, you continue with the installation of the printer described in the manual!
Good bye

Two Roaming PC (domain) must share a USB printer.
Hallo all
I have two PCs that need to share a USB printer.
PC 1: Win 7 Pro, roaming profiles user (domain)
PC2: Win XP Pro, roaming profiles user (domain)These two PC will be used out of the site and will not be connected to the domain. Users must use their domain user name and password.
What group policies must be configured to allow the sharing of files and a printer USB between two PCs, when off site?
With workgourps, it is simpler, but because I'm not the domain administrator I don't know if there could be actions prevention policies...
Thank you in advance,
Chris

When using the docking station when my laptop can connect USB. printer, etc... ? I know that I can connect my laptop to a docking station.

Hello
With Docking Station, you can connect all the cables for printer, keyboard and mouse, adapter directly to the charging station.
So whenever you use a laptop, you have just dock the laptop on the docking station and not need to re connect all cables again.
This will help you when you move frequently with the laptop.
Docking station will save your time, outside any other aspect, that it has to offer.

USB, print on XP machines!
Trying to install a new printer Lexmark... cannot communicate with the computer using the USB cable. The computer is under XP SP3 and is not so old. I tried to disable the enhanced USB port PCI card and the only thing that did was to knock out the Internet connection... who uses USB to connect. I tried tons of other things listed on various forums and nothing. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
OK, after a lot of grief, I managed to pinpoint the problem. I disabled the firewall and full (after turning off without success), uninstalled the antivirus. After a reboot it automatically installed the USB printer port... then I could install the printer and print without any problems. I then reinstalled the antivirus software and Firewall enabled and rebooted. After restarting the computer came with a blank screen with just the blinking cursor. So now that it is narrowed down, tomorrow I'll try to disable the Microsoft Firewall and restart to see what is happening. If the printer still does not work, I'll uninstall Antivirus completely and reboot first to make sure that the printer works... If it works... I will try to install a different antivirus product and see what happens. I'm sure that this issue will be resolved in half an hour.
Thanks for your replies!
