or see if u can Find a Canon USB to Parallel Interface Cable
FY9-4368-000
is the ONLY USB to Parallel Interface Cable that will function with the Service Support Tool. This cable is supported on Windows 98, 2000, and XP ONLY.
The driver for the USB to Parallel Interface Cable must be installed on your PC for the cable to function

As teckat noted.. The Canon USB to Parallel Interface Cable will do the job.


If you can get this cable.

That's also a good option.

But then you gotta get the software. Damm it.

I have always had a ball ache getting the Canon Nethawk USB-Parallel cable working properly. Or more accurately getting it installed correctly.

If you have a spare slot , then the PCMCIA / Parallel card and a normal Bi-Centronics cable is your best bet.
These also can be generic.

If it is IEEE1284 compliant, it is O.K. Most people think a parallel cable is a parallel cable, but a plain printer cable will not do.

AMEN'
