Please log in for more thread options Do you have a physical Parallel port on the computer, or only USB? If
only USB, then the port you are seeing listed is the printer port you
need to specify when setting up the printer. If you have a physical LPT
port, then the cable is not doing it's job and you may have to install
drivers for it.
When setting up the printer, you need to specify it as a Parallel
printer - it's the cable that's supposed to be doing the emulation
between USB and LPT.
If you're still having trouble, you may need to contact Epson or the
vendor you purchased from for help. I always try to avoid using
emulators - they end up complicating more than they simplify. Either
get the printer model that works with your avialable ports or add an
expansion card to provide extra ports...
