Hi everyone,

I have an Amiga 2500HD. It has a SupraGVP board w/RAM, a 2091 contro9ller and an A2630 accelerator card. I have installed a flicker fixer, a new hard drive, and 3.1 ROM and installed Workbench 3.1. NOW, I would like to install a printer for it that works off the Amiga and I'm stumped. I have an HP OfficeJet pro L7550 sitting ri9ght next to it, on my newwork. I have the USB root to hub cable, a USB female to female adapter, and a USB male to parallel cable connected to the Amiga parallel port. I have tried about 80 HP drivers and the message is always the same. "System Message. Printer not ready.". I am assuming that the parallel port is working because one of my unsuccessful attempts to do this involved running a cable from the printer port of the Amiga to my USB hub. Windows XP Device Manage saw an "unknown device", which I am assuming was the Amiga.

Can this even be done?
