Printer LaserJet 4100: Should which cable I for Laserjet 4100 connected to the laptop with USB port

I have the HP Laserjet 4100 printer. I bought a new laptop with USB ports.  What type of printer cable I need to connect the printer to my laptop? Is there some kind of printer cable adapter, or something else that will do the trick?

I have the same question about my HP Laserjet 1100 printer.

Thanks in advance for your assistance expected.

If I remember correctly, the 1100 uses a cable "C", alias MicroCentronics.  Have never seen an adapter for that one.  On the 4100, you can get a USB to parallel adapter.  They are pretty cheap and available at most CESS (Consumer Electronics Super Store) as Best Buy.  Staples and OfficeMax/Office Depot should also wear.  Online is cheaper if you have time to wait.

The thing with these USB converters is often must 'install' the cable first.  In other words, connect it to the laptop, then wait so he could install, then connect the printer.  Depending on your operating system and if you have correct updates that can be almost instantaneous, and you may not even see it pop on the screen.

Best idea is that since these are obviously not portable machines, connect them to your router via a network card.  I had the 1100 years and used a cheap 170 X.  I know most recent are available which are faster.

For the 4100, see if you can retrieve a Jet Direct 620 unit on eBay.  Probably less than $50 and sometimes even as little as $25.  Stay away from the 600, 510 or 615 cards.  Low or as the 600, they can leave your network open to hackers.  No need to get Gigabit cards as they will be well above what the 4100 can handle.

Now, two of these old devices, processing power and memory can be a problem.  Never try to print documents online.  Save them on your laptop, and then print.  You will probably get communication errors if you print directly from IE or FireFox.

If the 1100 does not die, not even worth fixing.  Put into a Fuser is a nightmare.  The 4100 will probably work for another 20 years if you keep to clean and replace the rolls before they cause jams.

  • computer not automatically standby (formerly titled "impossible computer automatically sleep when it is connected to the internet with modem cable")

    Hi, I noticed recently that my computer (Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005) is unable to sleep automatically when it is connected to the internet with a cable modem. Change the settings for my current power mode and try a different feeding regime (diagrams of Windows XP default power and power management, I created) only solves the problem for 2 days at most. I also tried to change the settings for the other power plans mentioned, and yet once again, the problem was only set for two days at the most. I also tried turning off my computer, restarting my computer, recording Powercfg /Restore Default policies in Run, saving sfc/scannow in Run, and again, I got the same result. Reset and power cycling the modem cable is not helped either. To help you better understand the problem, for example, if I had the date set for the screensaver set to 1 minute, the time for the monitor to turn off set to 2 minutes and time for your computer set to 3 minutes, the screen saver activate after 1 minute, the monitor turns off after 2 minutes, but the computer would not sleep mode after 3 minutes , even after an hour or more. I tried to check the Task Manager, and I have not noticed any process that would be interrupting the day before. However, I noticed that when I turned on the monitor by moving the mouse, even when the computer was unable to sleep and unplugged the ethernet cable from the cable modem and waited, the computer has entered standby as it should have.  I tried to find a solution for more than a week, contributions for this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. (Update: it seems that the problem is something else then my cable modem.)

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    This behavior can occur because of possible conflicts of third-party software, which includes the third-party security software.

    You can also temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls installed on the system and check the issue.

    If disabling the antivirus software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the antivirus as a result program. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.

    Note: be sure to enable the security software on the computer after checking the issue.

    Note: When you perform a clean boot, you can activate services for the modem, network card and disable third-party services to check the issue.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Connect Legacy parallel printer on computer laptop w/USB Port

    Anyone with a printer HP legacy parallel port and a newer PC will have a challenge connecting the printer to the PC. The question is: can it be done and, if so, how?

    I have an old, OfficeJet - a R40xi relaiable. She has just a single interface - a parallel cable. Now, I have two PCs with no parallel port - an HP laptop and a desktop HP. Both running XP Home OS.

    Question is - is there hope using a parallel cable series on the laptop or a parallel to USB cable either?

    I suspect that Windowz XP and the driver of HP will not 'see' the printer on the serial or USB ports. Before that I go out and buy cables and pass the TIME, trying to get the system to work, I thought I would ask the advice of EXPERTS. Everyone out there knows?

    One option that I still have is to install a parallel card in the desktop PC. I don't know if there is a parallel PCI card for the laptop, but I can watch using GMBMG.com.

    TIA.

  • I'm trying to install Acrobat 8 Std on a laptop computer that was in need of a restoration.  He asks the file AdobePDF.dll since my Vista CD - I do not have.  How can I get this file or another which will allow my Acrobat 8 work on this laptop with Win 8

    I'm trying to install Acrobat 8 Std on a laptop computer that was in need of a restoration.  He asks the file AdobePDF.dll since my Vista CD - I do not have.  How can I get this file or another which will allow my Acrobat 8 work on this laptop with Win 8.1, which she did before restoring?

    John,

    AdobePDF.dll is in the file Data1.cab. Mine is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional\ You need to extract the file "AdobePDF.dll_64" from the .cab file. You can do this with WinZip or 7-Zip. Everything you need to extract is this file, nothing else... Once you have extracted it, remove the _64, so the name of the file is AdobePDF.dll. Then place the file in any location you want and run the program it when asked. For a file location, I suggest to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\

    Hope that helps.

  • How to register for an event when the device is connected to the PC in USB mode or sync

    I develop application on blackberry with phonegap.

    I want to hear event when the BlackBerry device is connected to the PC by USB MODE or sync.
    I saw mediagallery and applications Filemanager showing the dialogue that the application cannot be used when connected to the PC in USB mode.
    I want to display dialog similar to my request.
    Can anyone please help on how to do it.

    I saw blackberry webworks API

    public static Boolean blackberry.system.isMassStorageActive)

    who says if massstorage is active or not.

    But I can't keep on request this API every time. I'm looking for an API that gives me the reminder.

    Can you please help.

    On the side of Java, this can be done by implementing a FileSystemListener and the rootChanged method:

    public void rootChanged(final int state, String rootName) {
        if (rootName.equalsIgnoreCase("sdcard/")) {
            if (state == FileSystemListener.ROOT_ADDED) {
                /* SD Card is available. */
            } else if (state == FileSystemListener.ROOT_REMOVED) {
                /* SD Card is not available. */
            }
        }
    }
    

    I was not able to find a corresponding WebWorks API or API community well, so I think you need to create your own custom extension to implement this feature of the listener.

  • Spectrum 360: Cable ethernet for spectrum 360 connection?

    Nobody knows what the best approach for wired ethernet is on these laptops?  I did not know that they do not have an ethernet jack, my son is off to College with a spectrum of 360.  Looks like they recommend an adapter, but I don't know if it's via the HDMI or USB? And then, what size is the USB?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 are the same size and are backward compatible.

    USB 3.0 ports are blue or have at least the symbol (super speed)
