Can't connect HP Deskjet printer to USB Port
I have a HP Deskjet 690C printer which I was using connected to a USB port on
my last computer (XPPro operating system) with a USB to Parallel Port adapter cable. My new Computer has Vista home premium operating system and intel core 2 duo processor E6300. I already have a HP PhotoSmart D7160 printer installed on one USB port but I would like to install the Deskjet 690C on one of the other USB ports (of which there are 6 on the rear and 2 on the front). Windows Vista provides signed drivers for the Deskjet 690C printer which appear to have installed properly. During the installation proceedure I was presented with a list of Printer Ports including DOT4-001 (HP Device), USB 001 Virtual printer port HP PhotoSmart D7160, USB 002 & XPS Port (local Port) and asked to choose one. I selected USB002 being free, but when I tried to print a test page I got a message “A test page has been sent to your printer” If so it did not arrive. There was not a quiver of response from the printer. What has gone wrong? Will a USB connection which worked on an XPPro platform not work on Vista? I would be grateful for help. Many Thanks -- JJ MacA
