Q: I have done all the troubleshooting recomended..I tried the same with a new usb..no progress..It keeps telling me not conected to usb port/parallel port..This is for a lexmark 1200...I have uninstalled and reinstalled....no progress..HELP!!!!!!!
A: Below is how to set up & run a USB to parallel adapter for WINDOWS XP PRO Operating System as I own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and once incurred problems getting them to print on my HP Laserjets <= I have 4 total: HP 4M, 5, 5N and one color HP 4550 and even Dell Technical Support could not resolve problem plus Dell Diagnostics said nothing was wrong. Luckily BELKIN Technical Support came to my rescue and sent me one page of detailed instructions that required going to CONTROL PANEL, then SYSTEM then HARDWARE then DEVICES and dropping down to USB controllers where you should see one entitled USB Printing Support and hopefully it or any others do NOT have Yellow Exclamation Points <= that signify errors that need to be troubleshooted & repaired. Oh! I almost forgot to mention sometimes for no unexplained reason just simply switching the cable to a different USB port on your Notebook PC can resolve your problem... If you click and open the USB Printing Support, if you look closely it will say whether "Device is working properly" and down below it will also provide option to "Troubleshoot" as well as indicate whether "USB Device is Enabled" or not... Hope the Above Info Helps!
