Hello All,
I have a HP Laserjet 4 that has parallel port OR serial port ONLY (old printer) which I am trying to hook up to my laptop with USB. I got an adapter that converts the parallel to USB, but the printer doesn't respond. I also tried a full cable that converts it to eliminate what I thought was a bad adapter, but still no luck.......I then tried the serial connection and it still does not respond........
Is there a port/setting that has to be added/changed???
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.....
