Printer Does Not Print After Switching Ports

Important: Do not connect both the parallel cable and the USB cable to the
printer simultaneously. Only use one type of connection to the printer at one
time.

Make sure the cable you are using is properly connected to the

computer and the printer.

Make sure the printer is off when you switch ports. If it wasn’t, turn

the printer off then turn the printer on again.

Check that the port setting matches the physical connection:
