Hello
I have been trying to help my friend connect his new Epson printer to a rather old pentium computer using win98 and a parallel printer connection. Everything I try says the printer is not present. I am not a newbie, although most of my work has been with Macs.He does have another printer on the machine which he uses for business receipts. It seems to be connected with everday phone wire. could the fact that this printer is connected and working be the problem? The new printer is also USB compatible.....should I go out and buy a USB adaptor and forget about the parallel connection? Any help is greatly appreciated.
