I bought a LPT to USB cable and now I can't get my Epson action laser printer to work. When I use the parallel port with the old cable it works fine but how to I get the new cable and connection to the USB port on the PC to work? It's the old style LPT connection out of the printer and USB into the PC. Thx

What cable did you buy and is it compatible with your printer?

Did you set the printer up to work with USB?

Some printer drivers only allow printing to a parallel port.
