I've dealt with HP laserjets experiencing the same problem... they sell a kit to replace the rollers and it's fixed the problem for me 3 out of 3 times. They run around $80. The usb thing... good luck :) -Marc On Fri, 1 Oct 2004 13:22:05 -0400, Chuck Homic <chuck@vvisions.com> wrote:
Hi, all...
I inherited a HP Laserjet 1100 from work, recently. (This model's failure mode is that you have to feed it one page at a time, since if you put multiple sheets in the tray, it will grab anywhere from 5 to 20 at a time.)
Anywho, it's a nice sweet printer, especially for the price. I'm using it at work with my WinXP box. However, I'd like to bring it home to use with my laptop. It has a parallel interface, and my slick, modern laptop is lacking this. (And I really don't feel like kicking up my 486 each time I want to print something!)
Does anyone have any experience with one of those USB to parallel converter dealies? They seem pretty cheap, but I wonder about driver support and whatnot. The USS720 driver seems to be the only one I can find, I assume that Lucent sells that to anyone making such a device, so it's a matter of finding a list somewhere of devices using that chipset.
Any ideas here?
Thanks.
-Chuck
