Problem for Nikon COOLPRINT Thermal Printer

USB to Parallel connection (Panasonic KX-P1121)




By Narion on Sep 02, 2009

" "
As you might know this model (Panasonic KX-P1121) uses a parallel cable, and my PC has no port for that, soI have a USB to parallel converter and the printer is connected to my PC (Vista, meaning the printer driver is build in), the problem is when adding the printer, I don't know what port to choose, I've chosen a USB port and it printed a test page (correct info about the PC) and all was good, but afterwards any printing order is NOT being executed, not even that test page, what now?

- Nopes, no driver with the cable.

I assume you installed the driver that came with the cable. The driver should create a new printer port like lpt1. That's the port you should use in the printer configuration.

I would recommend buying a Printer parallel port connection (PCI to LTP1), install it into the system, and use the printer parallel cable.

Belkin makes a USB Parallel Printer Adapter cable
Part # F5U002au

- Another way is to use a print server on your network. The printer is connected to the print server that has a LPT printer connection. Any computers on your network can then print to this printer.
