The printer cable connections

I have a printer HP Laserjet 5 p, old but works very well.   It is wired to a cable to plug into the computer.   However, I now have a new computer, with no parallel port and will need to talk to the printer via a USB port.  Is there an adapter available that will allow me to connect the cable wired to my printer on the USB port?   My printer cable's 25-pin male, so I need a 25-pin female plug connected to a USB port.   I believe that a cable (6 ft) M501-1164 is available, but that would mean I'll have 12 feet of cable between my printer and the computer.   will be led to the loss of data?   Will need me new drivers if the computer communicate with the printer via USB and not via the parallel port?

Thanks for any help.

Hello

You need a cable like this:

    @anshu645

    Home networks typically use a form any of 192.168.x.x

    For example:

    192.168.1.14

    Found in your example:

    192.16. 137.1

    Also found:

    Autoconfiguration IPv4 address. . : 169.254.218.171

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I suspect that the installer with your home network router is misconfigured and the network can't find a viable (useful) DNS address to use for the purpose of ISP Internet Service (ISP) connection.

  • LaserJet P1102w: Printer 'offline' since the upgrade to El Capitan on MacBook Air - using the USB cable connection to print

    Updated the MACBook Air to OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan.  In this process, my printer disappeared.  Apple support had to intervene to get the printer view and print - that was yesterday & took 1.5 hrs.  Today, I tried printing and get the error "offline."  I went through the steps of unplugging the printer and Router 2 x, but always 'offline' message.  Help please!

    Hey @mel1121,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have some problems with your Mac OSX 10.11 for the Laserjet P1102w printer machine printing. I can help you with that.

    1. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    2. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
    3. Click on reset printing system.
    4. Click on the button "+" in the lower left corner of the screen.
    5. Select your printer from the list.

  • Can I use my SmartPhone App to print when the printer is connected?

    Hello-

    I just bought the HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw for my house and have it networked with a wired connection.

    I think I know the answer to this, but want to double check. I think that the printer must be connected to my network without wire in order for me to print from my Android, and I believe that the only way to use the features of the printer wireless is if I unplug the wired network connection.

    Is this correct? If there is a way for me to use both, can you let me know?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Because your Android devices have no ports to connect to a printer, so you have your printer on a wireless network, BUT you can connect to the printer using LAN cable wireless as shown:

    Kind regards.

  • HP Deskjet 2541: The printer cable

    Hi, I need a longer cord (the one that connects from the printer to the computer). The one supplied with the printer is only about 18 ". I need at least 3 feet long cord. (USB)

    The cord is a standard A / B USB 2.0 cable.  You should be able to find this in a computer store or any where that sells printers.  I pick up these to the Dollar for $1 store, nothing fancy is required.  I personally would pay not $30 for the gold-plated version.

    Cables are available in various lengths, I would say not to get a cable more than 10', as they may have problems.

  • Note 'non connected' returns a lot, even if the printer is connected. What is going on?

    For a month, my printer HP don't printregularily any more, or sporadically. I've done obviously, turning works, but I always get the message "not connected". We live in a dusty, if the printer has collected too much dust in a year? We used to have this problem, what is happening, never please? Thank you... Nicole

    Hi Nicole,.

    First thing I would try is to restart everything. Unplug the printer and let that he unplugged for a minute. Then unplug the router for a few seconds then plug it back. Wait for your router to get booted back completely (when your internet connection works again), then plug the printer back in. Check the printer settings to make sure that its still connected to your wireless network. Sometimes, a good old fashioned reboot will help like that connectivity issues. In addition, depending on which printer you have, it can help to "check for updates". You can go to 'setup' > 'Web Services' > 'Product updates' > 'Check updates' and let it install the updates.

  • Satellite Pro A120 cannot start when the printer is connected

    Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but I'm having a very strange problem.

    I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300, but now the laptop will not start if the printer is on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes ok, then the Windows XP screen comes with the black background when the blue bar to cross to load Windows but its all disappear and the laptop just hangs and will not!

    However, if you turn the printer off and turn the laptop it starts up fine!

    Its really the printer which is the cause as its only when I turned it on.

    It's never caused this problem with my old PC using Windows XP too.

    Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.

    Thank you

  • Network connection wireless and cable - Internet access that allows on a computer that is connected to the network cable connection to a networked computer

    I have 3 desktop PCs. Machine A is Win 7, the B machine is XP, the C machine is XP.

    Machine A is connected to the router via cable and internet connection works. Machine B is wireless (the same router as a machine) and the internet connection works when I used that machine has b. Now I plugged in the machine C B machine with a crossover cable and wireless internet machine B does not work.

    I tried the IP and gateway addresses manually (since deleted). If I ping the computer A to B I get the answer to time to stop and even if I ping the B to A computer. However ping computer B to C and C to B work.

    I hope that I have omitted some important parameter, if anyone can point me in the right direction

    Hello

    If the bridge, the connection between C and B is the first to be configured with a static IP address that is on a different subnet * and then fill.

    Alternatively, you can use ICS, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126/en-us

    * On the subnet

    Classical IP looks like this (example), 192.168. 1 .x the first three groups are also called subnet, they identify specific network, x can be a number between 0 and 255 and it identifies each unique device on the network.

    An IP address of 192.168. 2 .x would be a subnet to another network.

    To assign a static IP address, see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19249/how-to-assign-a-static-ip-address-in-xp-vista-or-windows-7/

  • DeskJet 6940 connected via ethernet to the airport cable, do not print

    Hello

    I used to run my HP Deskjet 6940 printer using a USB connection. I recently installed an Apple Airport Extreme so I can print wireless. If necessary, the printer is connected to the airport by using an ethernet cable and turned on the light green network. On the advice of a HP rep by phone, I uninstalled all old HP software and reinstalled HP software downloaded from the HP website.

    When I try to add the printer to my 'system preferences', it opens a panel that contains the following options:

    Protocol: Automatically selects "line printer daemon - LPD.

    Address: Empty but allows me to type in the IP address assigned

    Print using: no idea.

    More than two things: when I open the HP Device Manager and select "set up a network, information network configuration printer seems in good condition but the Manager does not allow me to 'apply'.  Not sure if this is important but no the printer utilities appear in my folder utlities since the new software download. Thank you.

    Looks like you are using a Mac.

    First of all, the driver for the Deskjet 6940 is built into Mac OS.  You really didn't need to download additional www.hp.com (sorry for the bad advice) stuff.

    Next, we'll check that the printer is on the network.  In Safari, select bookmarks, display all bookmarks.  Select Hello in the left pane, and then check the Deskjet 6940 appears on the list of devices on your network.

    Then, follow these instructions to reset the print Mac subsystem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341

    Now add the printer to the Print & Fax under System Preferences applet by pressing the [+] button.  The Deskjet 6940 should be among the kind Hello from printers.  Select it and press Add.

    I think that should do it.
