*Hello Frans,

I have checked the HP website, and followed the instructions, downloaded 
the hplip-3.10.2.run script...Now I have a problem, even when I use the 
option C for custom, it never shows the question to enable parallel 
cable, or pp-build since it is disabled in the program...Why they did 
this is beyond me...

Just maybe you or someone else might have run into this and have the fix 
as to how to enable for using a parallel cable, instead of the USB one...

Thanks for any help on this one...

Larry
