Installing a Parallel Printer

•First, connect your parallel printer to the Multi-port Hub using IEEE 1284-compliant cables (Belkin F2A046-XX where “XX” is the length in feet).

•Install your printer’s drivers using the software that came with it. Better yet, download the latest software from the printer manufacturer’s web site. When the software prompts you for the port name, select “LPTUSB1”.

•If not, open the printers folder by clicking on START, then click on SETTINGS. Right-click on your printer icon, and choose PROPERTIES. Click on the DETAILS tab. Click on the drop-down menu for “Print to the following port”, and select “LPTUSB1”. Click on APPLY:

You’re done! You can now print to your printer from any Windows® application.
