HI there people!!!!

Well, I've recently accyred a parallel to USB cable to conect my CanosCan N340P in my laptop... the problem is that the device is recognized as a "USB Printer compatibility" device instead of a whatever image device or something related... I?m trying to install this in XP mode, but the canon software says the scanner is not plugged in...

This scanner is a parallel port model, I had the hope that this parallel to USB cable would be able to work... but I had no luck :(

PLease people, I need your help!!! How can I get the scanner working on XP mode or in 7 using this cable?

Thanks in advance

See ya!!! :D

- Rear Fan 80 mm @ 2700 RPM for heat extraction

- Foxconn @ 2500 RPM (Old Pentium III heatsink fan) in XFX ATI Radeon HD 4350
Check to see if the USB to Parrallel adapter you bought is IEEE1284 1994 compatible. This would mean the cable provides a bi-directional interface.

I tried... but didn't work... I cannot update the device.... well... at least I tried XD... some people says that is unsecure to use this type of cables because they rarely work on scanners or other printers...

I hope there is another solution... thanks for the help :)

See ya!!! :D
