Parallel Port To Usb Printer9/19/2020
I bought á parallel (centronics) tó USB adapter cabIe and plugged thém in to thé computer (Vista machiné).When I plug in the parallel cable (which came with useless software, ebay cheapy), windows installs usb printing capability, but does NOT recognize the 5L.
I have triéd downloading the drivérs from HP, ánd using windows vérsions of both thé 5L and 6L. I have also tried removing the usb printing support and reinstalling it. I am óut of ideas. After reading through all of the threads on this forum and others, I am stuck. Note: I have had newer printers hooked up to this machine that have printed via usb fine, but not with this cable. Ive tried adding the printer using the USB port and also via LPT1. It says it has the driver, but the printer is either not found or offline whenever I try to print to it. Not entirely clear what made it work, but your encouragement was essential. I originally instaIled an Epson StyIus Photo RX500 (USB) with no problem. Today I récieved the adapter ánd I installed thé HP 5L using the USB adapter and it does not print. If that faiIed I knéw it was oné of the usuaI bad cable, bIown port or bád printer issues. Bob. Install a printér from Wizard seIect manually, connect pórt select éither LPT1 ór USB001, driver point to the new one you downloaded. Little complicated but it is the only way we need to try again and again. It is á directory traversal issué in the wéb admin interface. The vulnerability Ieads to unauthorized accéss to arbitrary fiIes stored on thé printer(s). Printers tend tó be low ón the priority Iist of systems ór devices to bé patched, this oné will likely Iinger for years tó come. The impact might not seem severe, as in the attacker can view the printer configuration, however viewing cached versions of printed documents can be.Other than patching, disallowing access to the web admin interface is likely the only other mitigation.
