Hi all, i've just changed my "old" desktop computer to an "ultra laptop". Unfortunately, there is no paralel port on these new devices. So, i cannot use my Canon LBP660 printer any longer in its original Paralel configuration. I've bought a "Paralel to Usb" cable (IEEE-1284 Controller). the cable seems to work fine, my WXP Os recognize the controler and the printer Canon LBP660 (nice !) but ... Windows asks for a installation (and a driver). Of course the original Canon LBP 660 "Paralel software" does not work (windows error while trying to install the printer). DO you already have experienced this configuration (it should be the same problem with all original Paralel printers) ? Can sbd help me or give some ideas ? Nota: sorry for my english ... i'm french !

i forgot to tell you thank you for your reply... i already had the link you mentioned in your reply ... with no success !

indeed, i had a driver with this cable. But it's specified that it s only if i do not have a system higher than WXP. So i do not use it. It seems to be good because the printer is recognized by window while connecting the usb cable. the problem occurs when i try to install/configure the printer. i have no solutions !

thank you for your answers .... i can only see that i surely be forced to buy another printer !!! ;( even if i think and i'm sure that .... grrrrr !!!
