Trouble connecting LaserJet6p to Windows 7 64 bit computer using usb to parallel printer cable

The printer isn't responding at all--not even a test page. I've verified that the correct driver is installed and the computer does recognize the printer (even as the "default").
Any suggestions?   The computer is working with my other printer through blue-tooth,,,,
Thanks!
Paul

The USB-parallel cable needs a driver that supports Windows 7 x64 in addition to the driver the printer needs.  Additionally make sure the port settings are correct, usually the port will be something like USB001: or USB002: for the USB-parallel port. Some cables may provide a virtual LPT port such as LPT3:.  Check the documentation for your unit for details.
The posts here list models of USB-parallel ports folks here have had success with in Windows 7.

  • Trouble connecting playbook to windows PC when using AVG Internet Security and USB cable ?

    I have spent ages trying to get my PC (windows 7 64bit ) to talk to the Playbook. I found the following:
    Windows device manager sees the playbook and will let me back up and restore but not to see the files on the Playbook. Desktop software says problem with connection. On the "computer" window it shows drives but not the Playbook. Only hard drive and DVD drives. Looks like AVG is blocking the USB and as yet they have not come up with a solution and latest software wont let you manually configure the firewall other than allow and block (previous versions allowed you to config inbound and outbound rules)
    Elsewhere on the forums a solution was provided but it meant leaving the firewall set to "off" or "allow all" which really is a waste of time having a firewall at all.
    Please try this and see if it resolves your problems, It sorted it for me !
    Remove AVG Internet Security 2014
    Load AVG antivirus 2014 ( freeware) so now you are OK for antivirus protection
    Load Microsoft Security Essentials (freeware) so now you are  OK for firewall protection
    Playbook now talks and can be configured, also the contents of the playbook drive can be seen alongside your PC drives and DVD drives in the "computer" window of your PC  The playbook drive has now been allowed to be mounted where as it was blocked before
    I know how frustrating this can be I have spent ages on it ..so give it a try

  • I have just transferred elements 11 to a new windows 7 64 bit computer using the original purchased disc. Organiser is working fine, but I cant get the Editor to open at all.

    I have just transferred elements 11 to a new windows 7 64 bit computer using the original purchased disc. Organiser is working fine and all my photos are there, but I cant get the Editor to open. It just says editor workspace is loading and then it eventually gives up.

    Try opening directly from your desktop, by passing the welcome screen.
    Go to Windows Explorer>C drive>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Photoshop elements 11. Right click, then Send to>Desktop
    Double click on the shortcut and see it will open.

    If the message that is displaying is "Network connection timed out", disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the comptuer or check with the company that supports the product on how to modify it to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.

  • I get a "Connection Failed" message when I try to connect to a Windows 7 computer that I was able to connect to before.

    I was able to connect to this Windows 7 computer before, I don't think anything happened, and then suddenly I couldn't.  I turned the firewall off and enabled everything that I could for sharing on the PC.  I can connect to the other PC on the network fine.  I have tried using the connect to server and all of the different ways to enter the address in.  When I ping the PC all of the responses are completely normal.  I'm on OS X 10.8.3 and the PC I'm connecting to is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1.  If you need any more details I'll try to provide them, that's all I can think of right now.

    I called Apple today... It turned out to be my modem/router.

  • Printing to a printer connected to a Windows XP computer

    Hello
    I have a MacBook, a Powerbook, and a Windows XP computer.
    I currently have the printer connected to the XP computer using USB.
    I am thinking of buying an Airport Express, but I don't want to connect the printer to the Airport Express as it also functions as a scanner, and I do not want to lose this function.
    I understand that I can 'share' my printer, so that my Macs can 'see' it and print to it. I also understand that in order for this to work, the XP computer must be switched on and logged in.
    My question is: is it an easy process to allow my printer to be shared by the MacBook and Powerbook? (for instance, will I need to install the printer driver's for Mac on each of these machines)
    The printer is an HP all-in-one 2110
    Thank you in advance

    I am thinking of buying an Airport Express, but I
    don't want to connect the printer to the Airport
    Express as it also functions as a scanner, and I do
    not want to lose this function.
    Have a look at the Keyspan USB Server this may allow you to share the full functionality of your multi-function device.
    Personally if I was going to spend money I would purchase an AIO printer with an integrated print server.
    I understand that I can 'share' my printer, so that
    my Macs can 'see' it and print to it.
    But they won't be able to scan.
    I also
    understand that in order for this to work, the XP
    computer must be switched on and logged in.
    Yes.

    (for instance, will I need to install the printer

    You may need to use a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

  • Issues in Connecting Moto G to Flex 14 using USB

    Hello:
    I have Ideapad Flex 14 on which I have installed 64 bit Microsoft Windows 8.1. When I connect my Moto G (1st Gen) using USB port, it gets connected to the laptop, when I go to the specific folder of this Moto G using Windows Explorer, the whole folder structure including the Explorer window disappears. Then in couple of seconds, it appears again. This continues foreever till the time phone is disconnected from the laptop USB cord. I downloaded the Moto G driver from their website for Windows 8.1 and installed it. Still I am facing this issue.
    To check it, I connected Sony Experia using USB and it is facing same issues.
    Could you please guide me in resolving this issue?
    Thanking you

  • Connecting Agilent DSO3062A Oscilloscope with LabVIEW using USB

    I am trying to connect Agilent DSO3062A Oscilloscope with LabVIEW using USB but the device is not recognized by MAX. I have installed the drivers for scope and it works fine with the scope software. The problem is LabVIEW dosen't recognize the scope. Please tell me the procedure of setting up the scope with LabVIEW 8.2. I am using Windows XP.

    Hi there,
    I think the issue is that the DSO3062A will not be recognized by LabView as a GPIB instrument through the USB connection. If you check out the 3000 series manual (http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/D3000-97016.pdf) you'll notice on page 8 it says you can't use the USB for programming, it can only be used with their scope software. You need the N2861 module installed on the back to connect via GPIB, and then a GPIB interface to your computer. I hope that helps.

    After lollypop upgrade I can no longer transfer files from LGg3 to windows8 computer using USB charge cord. Can I roll back to Kittcat?

    That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?

  • When i connect my ipad to my computer via usb, the latest version of itunes states that the mobile version cannot be started because of an unknown error

    i have just downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes.  Now when i connect my ipad to my computer via USB, itunes states that the apple mobile device service cannot be started because of an unknown error (1058).  The connection worked fine with the previous version of itunes.

    so then i tried intsalling a stand alone if apple mobile device support (amds) but still it doesnt work
    Did you get an error message when you did the standalone AMDS install? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • TS2776 iPhone 5, Outlook 2013, Windows 7.0 64-bit.  Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB, iTunes opens with the "accept our terms and service" then deselects the boxes checked under the INFO tab to sync my calendars, contacts...help?

    I am connecting my iPhone 5 to my Windows computer via USB.  This should open iTunes and start the sync process.  Instead of iTunes opening, I get the iTunes service agreement to which I must agree.  Then iTunes opens and begins to back up my phone.  It is syncing my photos and music (although the music thing is another nightmare), but under the "info" tab in iTunes, the boxes of which functions I want to sync are no longer selected.  Hence the computer and the phone are not sharing information.  When I select the functions I want to sync, I must either replace or merge.  If I replace, I lose the information I recently put into my phone.  If I choose to merge, then I have duplicates of everything.
    How can I resolve this problem? Why is iTunes acting like it doesn't know my phone?
    I'm using an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4, Windows 7 64-bit, Outlook 13, and the must current version of iTunes (because I've removed and reinstalled it twice already).
    Thanks for any help!

    After you'd run the Configure Classic instance did you run in the statement as stated in 'Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number E10421-05'?
    java -classpath ORACLE_HOME_DIR\discoverer\lib\disco-config.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\jlib\OraInstaller.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\opmn\lib\iasprovision.jar -Djava.library.path=ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\lib\win32 oracle.disco.install.config.DiscoUtil -oraclehome ORACLE_HOME_DIR -tnsadmin TNS_ADMIN_DIR
    I've completed an installation with the same steps (although I ran the config.bat file in as_1/bin rather than from the program files list and also I've the jrockit jdk installed)
    I've found that this fails with the error;
    INFO: This tool works only on Windows Platform. Exiting the program
    Which is strange considering this is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
    DISCO is running in the EM console but the URLs (as defined in the installation summary report) do not resolve properly. I was just interested to hear if you're installation was the same, this isn't the first installation I've done, they've all had a similar issue

  • My keyboard doesn't work when I connect to a Windows 7 computer with Remote Desktop.

    I got a new computer at work that has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on it.  I set up a Remote Desktop connection from my iMac at home and connected.  However, when I tried to use the keyboard, nothing happened.  After a little pecking I found that the DELETE key worked.  Also, I found that the keyboard would work correctly if I held down the FUNCTION key.  Very weird.
    My old Windows XP computer was still connected so I connected to it via Remote Desktop.  The keyboard works normally there.  It has always worked in Windows XP so I was surprised when it didn't work in Windows 7.
    I've been searching but haven't found anyone with this same issue.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
