Install a parallel pci card on Windows 7

In Windows 7 in the Devices and Printers box, choose Add printer, then click on Add a local printer, choose existing port if one is already created (Parallel Port or IP Port) or if you have a Network card installed create new port and go to Standard TCP/IP Port. Enter the IP Address of the printer (It will also add the port Name automatically) then Next. Select Next again for Generic Network Card. This will bring you back to the Driver Install Window.
Here you will click on Windows Update, this will download more print drivers for all manufacturers. Once the download is complete select Konica Minolta under Manufacturer then select Konica Minolta Pi7200e PCL5e, go Next and finish off the installing the Driver.
I have a PageWorks 20 at home and using it on Win 7 64bit and this driver works with all paper sizes up to 11 x 17, duplex and optional tray. The driver is for a copier so disable tray 4, hole punch etc.

Hi I solve this problem with a program called CardFive this program provides several drivers inside when you install it in Windows 7. I install CardFive 6.3. Note. this program don´t install a printer driver in Devices and Printers in Windows 7, only provides you a interface to print cards with your Eltron p310 and you can choose other printer models discontinued. My printer interface is parallel and works in Windows 7 With CardFive 6.3 pro.

In Windows 7 you are working w/ the windows drivers or the HP drivers?
Usually the native drivers are best than windows so try working w/ HP drivers

you will need an actual parallel port to connect that printer. If the new system doesn't have a parallel port, then I'd either:

1. Install a parallel Port expansion card
2. Get a USB Printer

What has changed? One solution is to go into BIOS when you first turn on your PC hit <del> key. Make sure the ports are enabled. The second solution is to make sure you didn't add a device with serial ports or something which is sharing the same IRQs, which is 3 4 and 7 traditionally (for COM1/2 and parallel port).

If you tried all this and it doesnt work, then somehow the chip on the motherboard which handles these (the UART chip) has broke, you need to replace the motherboard or buy a card with serial and parallel ports on it (this should be quite cheap, ie 10-20 dollars).

Now that is a tall order. Finding drivers for a bubble jet printer. My best bet is that you'll need to contact the manufacturer of the printer and ask them if any such updates are available.

Vista do however have a large driver database.

Here is a link. Download and try. Do hope this help.

I had the same problem two years ago and purchased the adaptor also .The port is correct. My adaptor never would work either. The correct answer,for me, was to purchase a Parallel port PCI card and install it.  I am still using it to this day as both the paper and the ink ribbon  on my pin printer is a lot less expensive for making copies that I don't need to be letter perfect.

1.check the cable compatibility
2.install the driver HP laser jetIII

There are know compatibility and driver problems with Vista. Please visit the Microsoft update website for updates and driver issues.

Windows vista is not included in product min OS requirements technical details. That may be the problem.
