I use XP and have a HP Deskjet 612C printer with parallel connection
only. I recently purchased a parallel to usb cable and I cannot get
anything to go out to the printer. I first installed the cable,
turned the printer on and then installed the printer driver. No joy.
If I look in the device driver listing it says 'unknown device' in the
usb section. There is also a message that says 'one of the sub
devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned & Windows doesn't
recognize it'. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.
 
There should be a driver disk that comes with the USB to Parallel cable (
there was with mine). Unplug the cable, install the device driver, make
sure the printer is on and the parrallel end of the cable is plugged in,
then attach to your USB port.
