print driver successfully installed but still a problem with print
 

I own a Dell XPS 410 running 32 bit Vista Ultimate. I have a HP Laserjet 4L
parallel printer that I am trying to connect to the XPS 410. Because the
printer has a parallel cable, it was necessary for me to buy a USB/Parallel
adapter to contact the PC to the printer. I attempted to use the "add a
printer" facility and my system successfully found a driver for the printer.
However, there is some kind of a problem and the printer won't print. I
opened device Manager and there is a yellow exclamation point next to the
icon for "USB Printing Support". When I clicked it, it said "This device
cannot start (Code 10). Click "Check for Solutions" to send data about this
device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available". Below that
was a button labeled "check for solutions". When I clicked that button, a new
dialog box popped out and asked "Do you want to send more info about the
problem? Additional details about what went wrong can help Microsoft create a
solution" I clicked "send information". There was also another button on the
same dialog box that had additional details. When I clicked that button, the
following was written: "Windows was able to successfully install device
driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried
to run. The problem code is 10".
Does anyone have a clue as to what might be the problem?
Thanks

What hardware is the USB to parallel cable? I know the 4L will work with a
Belkin F5U002 cable because I have this configuration. I only will use this
cable since it has a proven track record for me when other cables have
failed.

The hardware in your cable may need some device drivers so check the vendor
site for Vista drivers.

I bought the cable on EBay from a Hong Kong based company called Pointing
Mouse. I guess I thought that all cables are created equally. There is a
diskette that came with the cable, but there is a notation that no drivers
are needed with windows Vista, so I didn't fully examine the files on the
diskette. I guess it will be ncessary to go out and find the Belkin cable
that you suggested. By the way, do you have any idea what "problem code 10"
is?
