How do I get my printer to change from parallel port to USB?

I finally got this issue resolved and I appreciate the response. I was lucky enough to %26quot;grap%26quot; a techie guy that was familiar with the printer. He eventually uninstalled all the software and then reinstalled - bingo, the USB cable is now up and running!

Turn off computer

Change your printer cable to a USB cable

Plug it into the computer %26amp; printer, USB ports

Turn on your computer



The rest is magic.



This only works if your computer %26amp; printer have USB ports.
