Should what cable I plug my old HDD (Inspiron 6000) to a USB port?

My old laptop (Inspiron 6000) showed some blue screens and developed a flaw in the boot sector...

Should what cable I access it as an external drive connected to a USB port?

Any help would be appreciated - I need to get my data!

Thank you

  • 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.

    Hi Mike,.

    Just to follow up with you on that, that very well may be the cause. Especially when it comes to mobile phones, the real cable you use is very important to have all the features when it is plugged into a computer. Where you can try a new USB cable yet, I hope that whoever is completely compatible with this phone.

    Hi Keith,

    You are able to use the computer USB ports normally when you connect to another (other than the one you mentioned) key-USB/Flash USB? Try to update the drivers for the chipset of your computer. Also provide more information on your computer on its brand, model and if it has been recently formatted.

    I hope this helps.

    Should what cable I plug my HP laser printer 4 p to the USB port on the router for my home network. My printer is already connected to my desktop running Windows XP.

    You cannot use usb period.  I said that above.  You will need to the jetdirect 300 x or another external jet parallel to connect to your router using an ethernet cable.  Once logged in simply look for instructions on the net print a configuration page and the use of the information in the config page to add the printer.  You can ask a friend who is computer savy.
