Connecting a LaserJet 6L using a USB cable

You should see a "USB Printing Support".

I just completed and all tests show no problems and I also checked for any driver updates.  None needed.  Looks like the cable is fine and Dell desktop is recognizing it.  In Device Manager, I can see it recognized and unrecognized when I plug it in and then remove it.

Yes, I see that.

I am guessing you will probably not find a workable resolution to this problem.  As the LaserJet 6L is a "host-based" product, the driver is required to be utilized via direct parallel port connection only.    Any sort of parallel to USB converter would be futile I'm afraid.

You are wrong!

Did anyone figure this out? I'm using windows 8 and printer test page (and all pages I try to print) are configuration text on several pages.

I am having the exact same issue! Can someone please help us!

I have a Toshiba Laptop using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.  I have the same problem.  It will print a test page if I re-start.  Otherwise, it says "Error Printing" .  It shows there is 1 job ahead in queue.  Troubleshooting it will alsways "resolve" the issue by cancelling the job i que ahead, but when I try to print again, I get the same problem.  Has anyone figured this out?

Hi etoile, are you using a USB cable that is rated to work on a Windows 7 32/64 bit?
