No!

Are you trying to connect your printer to a PC using the USB port?

If so, it would be far better to purchase a USB to Parallel port cable.

The data passing over the USB cable will have to converted from a serial format to a parallel format before the printed can store the data,

Next, the converted has to add the required control signals in order for the printer to read and latch the data.

I have a parallel port printer can i change it into USB printer?

Hi sudhi2008, the answer is yes you can. You need to purchase a parallel printer cable adapter. You can purchase one safely at Amazon.com at this link http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-16899-IEEE-1284-Parallel/dp/B000UX21PY/ref=pd_cp_e_1.

Be aware please, amazon offers a couple different versions at varying costs and of course you can find it on other retail sites as well just make sure its a site you feel safe doing business with.

We can't find available 25pin to USB printer cable for LQ 2180 here in Bacolod City Philippines.

hello,

Try the CDRKing near your area which is located at:

Bacolod City - Robinson's Bacolod
arrow.gif Space 3-03104 Level 3, Robinson's Bacolod, Mandalang St., Bacolod City
store.gif Store Hours: 10:00am-8:00pm
phone.gif (034) 441-0866

But if it isn't available there... try visiting Cebu Malls. There is a lot of Computer Shops that sells that kind of computer accessory, the 25pin to USB Converter.

Speed of print

A printer is designed to print at a certain ppm (page per minute), so really there is only one way to speed it up. When you select the print option from the File menu, you can select properties and see if you can change the dpi (dots per inch) of the document. Your document will print faster but you will lose quality.
