Hi Larry, It might actually make things easier. You will need to establish if you are able to change settings in the converter itself. Possible Parallel port settings are usually something like EPP, ECP, SPP or Bi-directional. The last two are usually used for devices which are pre the Plug & Play era.

If so, I suspect you may need to go in to the computer's BIOS, and change the Parallel Port to SPP (Standard Parallel Port) as opposed to EPP (Extended Parallel Port).
