Hi, Any experience with this kind of adapters in Puppy (I'm running 5.2.5) on a Toshiba Satellite Notebook. Printer is an HP LaserJet 5L. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1219598&CatId=471 (no affiliation) I just want to know if this will work, or if some drivers are needed... Thank's

No. But if you are willing to risk the $8.00, let us know how it turns out.

I use a usb to parallel adapter to hook up a xerox lazer P12 printer to my desktop PC with no problems. Hope that helps you. Also, no additional drivers are needed other than the one for the printer. |

I've successfully installed a Seikosha SP-2400 with a USB to Parallel cable under Slacko. This is how I've done it:
Click on "Adding Printers and Classes" Select "Add Printer" under printer printers Select "SCSI printer" under local printers Click on "Continue" Type the following next to "connection": parallel:/dev/usblp0 Click on "Continue" Follow the rest of the instruction as you would as if it was connected to a parallel port Note: You use IBM-ProPrinterII-ibmpro.ppd as ppd file for a Seikosha SP-2400 |
