printer problems / deskjet 5550 not work with usb to parallel / tried everything

Hello

Could someone please help. I'm not getting my old printer HP deskjet 5550 for work on an Acer ASpire 5542 laptop, I got the cable converter USB to parallel (1284) this morning - since... no joy in getting it to print.
-L'usb parallel cable driver installed first during the connection that
-L' printer was connected, then added via Device Manager "add a printer".
-It has been added to the level local port and selecting a port usb001 or usb002 virtual printer (it's the usb/parallel cable)
The printer is offline. A paper, ink - any installation to go.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you / simon

Parallel USB cables can be problematic, and in this case is not necessary.  The Deskjet 5550 has a USB port (in addition to the parallel port).  Install the printer such as described in this page.

  • External Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive does not work with USB 1.1

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the PA3352E - 2 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD COMBO USB 2.0. A colleague is owner of this car and use it on a NB DellC610 with Windows XP on it. The problem is that the drive does not work with this type of nb (with a NB from Fujitsu-Siemens newest there no problems); There is always an error message about "surge." I think it has to do with the USB 1.1 because the player seems to be built for USB2.0. Is it possible to use this drive correctly with usb1.1 (ok, the flow is low, but more important is it works in general)? Unfortunately his nb will not work with USB 2.0...

    Thank you very much in advance.

  • STOR. E partner HARD drive does not work with USB 2.0

    Hi all

    I recently purchased a 1 TB STOR. E partner HDD and it worked without any problems on my laptop Macbook Pro which has only USB 2.0 ports.

    A few days ago, the HARD drive has been disconnected from the laptop without ejecting first, and now it isn't recognized more than my laptop.

    I tried on a PC Windows with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and discovered that it is recognized when I plug in the port 3.0 but not on version 2.0.

    What should I do to have the HARD drive works again with USB 2.0?

    Many thanks in advance,
    Eduardo

    > I tried on a Windows PC with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and discovered that it is recognized when I plug in the port 3.0 but not on version 2.0.

    Stor.E partner HDD needs maximum power of my 900.
    The USB 2.0 port provides 500mA just
    If you can connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports using a USB cable in Y
    Or another option: connect a USB hub with external power supply between the HARD drive and the USB 2.0 port

  • Can now print :-), but still can not scan with USB or wireless

    Hello

    Like many of us, I just upgraded to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) and discovered during my first attempt to analyze the printer can't find my printer.  I uninstalled the HP software and re-installed using the installer on the HP website. Printing but scanning doesn't always work, fade via the USB cable or wifi.

    I'm quite a common scanner and need someones help with this.

    My printer is a Deskjet 3050 a - all in one.

    Thank you

    Eddie

    Hello, Eddie.

    The software for your Deskjet 3050 a is available:

    Before installing the new software, unplug your all-in-one to your pc.

    If you still have problems, try uninstalling/reinstalling the new software.  The OS upgrades are sometimes tricky.

    Have you tried to contact support for laptop and ask whether something should be activated or changed for this port USB3.0? Maybe some BIOS settings.

    If possible, try to check the functionality of some other USB3.0 available PC/laptop.

    As much as I know there not something special that will help you. It is Plug & Play device.

  • Canvio Plus 2.5 "1 TB external HARD drive does not work with USB 3.0

    I've had this drive for about a month.

    I am on Windows 7

    I can only operate by connecting to USB 2.0 ports. It is then visible in 'My Computer'.

    If I connect to USB 3.0, it turns on the case but does not appear in 'My Computer'.

    I tried it on all my USB ports 3.0 - up on one and two in the back of my case.

    I checked my BIOS and USB 3.0 is enabled.

    I tried to follow the suggestions in the user manual, but the drive does not appear in the management of so connected devices on USB 3.0, but it does when connected in USB 2.0.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    As much as I know the Windows 7 system requires installation of additional USB 3.0 driver.

    Many laptops and computers use USB 3.0 driver that was released by Intel... it is because of Intel chipset...

    I guess that USB 3.0 is already installed, but probably you need to update the driver at least to the newest version...

  • DeskJet 712c does not work with Win 7

    I recently switched to a new win 7 Home Premium SP1 (64) my old XP computer which worked well with my printer.  The printer does not work with the new OS and the computer.  Even if the computer indicates that the device is functioning normally, the printer will not accept print orders.  Not even the printer print test.  There is no error reports but the system behaves as if the usb is not connected, even though it is.   There were no changes in connectivity before or after installing new software (or trying) trying to get the new computer set up.

    I just found it and tried the wizard of the printer which also implies that the usb is not connected even though it is.

    The compatibility options have done nothing to help.

    Tara,.

    EUREKA!  At the risk of party too early, it seems that I am able to print with my new computer (HP).  Fixed after almost endless hours trying to get my printer to work despite many internet messages saying it could not be done and other giving solutions that didn't work.

    Why o ' why the solution apparently a hidden secret and why the tools did not work?

    In any case, thank you very much.  With all the problems I'm having to migrate to Windows 7, it's a very important achievement.  Thank you, thank you.

  • error "local printer spooler service does not work." any attempt to add a local printer (USB or Bluetooth) fails.

    I can't add a printer (USB or Bluetooth), because it always returns a printer spooler error. I tried to restart the print spooler and by ensuring that this "local system account" and "allow service to interact with desktop" is selected. I also deleted all the old printer drivers, rebooted, checked the RPC Locator is active and tried everything I can think of. It worked well in Vista x 64 on the same machine later than yesterday, but the upgrade to Windows 7 x 64 seems to have something broken. The printer, a HP C5500 series, works very well on a virtual machine that is running the same operating system. (I rather not have to run a virtual machine just to print, of course.) Running RTM x 64 on a Dell XPS M1530, which very well printed Vista, just before upgrading, to Win7. Suggestions?

    FINALLY, I SOLVED THE PROBLEM! Probably, this will not help too other people unless they too, are start several operating systems and VMware Tools running, but I figured out how to fix it on my system without having to reinstall Windows. In fact, it was caused by an instance of VMware Tools. I removed, rebooted and voila - I was able to print again. In an effort to help a few other people, here is a summary of the things I've tried while working through the countless possibilities. If you are having problems "print spooler cannot start", one of these might help.

    (1) after having in vain attempted to restart the print spooler service and by checking all its dependencies, I deleted all the registry entries and drivers as detailed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324757.
    (2) I rebooted in safe mode and check the C:\Windows\System32\spool\ folder for all the corrupted files or remnants of coil.
    (3) I moved all the drivers printer in C:\Windows\System32\spool\x64 (or \w32x86 if you are using a 32-bit operating system) to a temporary folder. While examining the dll, I became suspicious of some "ThinPrint" drivers by VMware.
    (4) I tried to replace with a known good copy spoolsv.exe. (To do this, you need to take ownership of the file. Search engines are your friend.)
    (5) I tried to use RegEdit to reconfigure the default http RPCSS indicated in the "DependOnService" value This and all the other steps I mention in this list, are described in great detail in the links provided in my Nov 11 message.
    (6) I tried system restore back as far as possible - who had the positive effect of the side to undo these unsuccessful efforts in this case. Unfortunately, the problem persisted, due to the limited number of available on my system restore points.
    (7) following up on top of my suspicion earlier, I removed VMware Workstation and restarted. The problem persisted after a reboot.
    (8) I then started in the other OS on my system and removed the VMware tools he had installed on my boot drive, then restarted.

    Bingo! Printers reappeared and everything worked properly. Then, I was able to reinstall VMware Workstation without breaking anything. Phew!
