If you're reading this, you probably have been digging on internet forums all day long, and still couldn't make your printer work. These printers are very reliable, but as the motherboards stop using parallel ports, we have to solve this problem. Step 1: Plug the printer to the adapter, and the adapter to your computer. It'll automatically install 'USB Printing Support Driver' and *sigh* the 'No Printer Connected Driver'. Step 2: Go to Start>Printers and Devices in the 'Not specified' group, make sure you see something like 'IEEE-1284 Controller' or 'Prolific Parallel-to-USB Cable'.
