HP Laserjet 6L printer connect via USB port?
I have just purchased a new HP Computer, & to my chagrin, it did not
contain a parallel printer port. It does contain several USB ports. Am using Windows XP Pro. The printer I have is the HP Laserjet 6L printer that contains only a parallel printer port. Can I connect the printer using a USB to Parallel Printer Cable purchased off the shelf at Frys, or do I need a special HP cable? Also, when setting up the printer using ADD HARDWARE function of XP, do I select the "virtual usb printing" option or the parallel printing option. All info welcomed! Aaron in N. Hollywood
