You can download the most recent version of the Prolific ieee-1284 USB to paralell port from our driver database below. Using Windows Device Manager, you can manually update using this downloaded driver file.
Recommendation: For most Windows users, we highly recommend using a driver update utility such as DriverDoc [Download DriverDoc - Product by Solvusoft] to help update Prolific USB drivers. DriverDoc takes away the hassle and headaches of making sure you are downloading and installing the correct ieee-1284 USB to paralell port's drivers for your operating system.
The best part about using DriverDoc is that not only do your USB drivers stay updated automatically, but the rest of your PC's drivers as well. With a database of over 2,150,000 drivers that's updated constantly, you can be sure we have the drivers your PC needs.
ieee-1284 USB to paralell port errors often stem from incompatible or outdated device drivers. Drivers can work one day, and suddenly stop working the next day, for a variety of reasons. The good news is that the USB system driver can always be modified to solve the laptop dilemma.
It is often hard to find a right solution to a ieee-1284 USB to paralell port hardware-related error by visiting Prolific's website. Locating, downloading, and manually updating your Windows ieee-1284 USB to paralell port driver does take a lot of time, making the process unbearable for most users. Using defective or non-functional drivers will cause more damage and errors on your machine.
For the time and effort involved in the driver update process, we highly suggest using driver utility software. A driver update tool ensures that you have correct driver versions for your hardware, and also creates a backup of your current drivers before making any changes. Sustaining a driver backup file is an excellent feature that allows you to revert any driver back to a previous version, in the event that something catastrophic occurs.

With SUNIX PAR6408A IEEE1284 Parallel board, users can expand single parallel LPT port to their system to use parallel devices further. It is ideal for printers, IC programmers, ZIP Drives, or other Parallel devices*. SUNIX PAR6408A built-in SUNIX high performance and realizable native PCI Express controller, and as well built with many of SUNIX advanced features and technologies, making it the advanced and high efficient solution for commercial and industrial automation application.
Note:
* LPT port does not support LPT Key Locker Parallel device.
* LPT port does not support legacy 278/378/3BC ISA address under Microsoft Windows nor Linux operation systems.
* ECP / EPP / SPP / BPP modes work under Windows, and Linux driver only supports SPP mode.
Since many of the people visiting PrinterHacks.com are using a Windows 7 computer, I thought it is time to update my post about connecting a parallel printer to a USB only computer, with instructions using a Windows 7 computer.
Occasionally, hardware manufacturers will choose to not make new drivers for old hardware devices. This was the case with HP and some of their old printers. You may run into issues installing an old printer on Windows 32 or 64-bit, but most likely you will have more problems finding drivers for 64-bit machines.
I got a cable with my new computer and hooked it up to my computer. Iit worked right away installing the drivers to my Laserjet 5. However it is so slow. I do PDF tax returns and 16 pages takes more than an hour. The exact same document from the old computer to the same printer takes a couple of minutes.
I have finally replaced my 10 1/2 year old computer with a new machine that runs Windows 7 (64 bit), BUT not the 10+ year old HP Laserjet 1100a printer. I followed the procedure above but still can not get the printer to print a page. You mentioned a possible driver for a different model that may work? THANK YOU for all your help. I have bookmarked this page for reference. THANK YOU.
I have a new Dell XPS desktop with Windows 7 (64-bit). My hp laser jet 4000 will still not run despite doing all your steps, including a parallel to usb cable (IEEE-1284 controller). It shows the printer with a green check mark, but i receive no test page. The same cable/printer works on my new dell laptop (also with Windows 7). Any advice/guidance would be greated appreciated.
I just upgrade from XP to Win7 and cannot get my Laserjet 6MP to work. I have a USB to parallel cable that worked fine in XP. Win7 only sees an unknown device. I tried installing the driver manually and it does not work. I also have a Deskjet 970Cxi that works fine. Do I need a different cable? BTY, I like your picture of Joseph.
I just got a windows 7 machine have older laser printers (Lexmark 4039-12R & IBM Info print 20 4320-001) do you know if the ptr drivers are available so that I can use a USB to Parallel printer cable with these printers. Also I ordered XP mode as part of the windows 7 load. Does this help?
Hi,
Maybe you can help me! I have an Epson TM-88III printer on a parallel port, which I am trying to connect to the USB on my Windows 7 laptop. The lead driver installed ok, and the Printer driver installed ok, but the two are not reconsigning each other as being connected. What can I do?
