Hi,

    I am setting up my new Ultra 20 X86 box which comes with Solaris 10 \
pre-installed.

I want to use my existing HP LaserJet II p with postscript cartridge.  I was plugging \
this into my soon-to-be-retired Ultra 1 Sparc box by means of the parallel port, but \
my new machine does not have one of these.

I bought a Belcan adapter cable to plug into a USB port at one end and a Centronics \
printer port at the other.  I believe this cable is acceptable to Sun Microsystems.

Needless to say, I can't print.  My printer gave me an error message, and when I \
pressed "Continue", the light on the printer flashed for hours with no printed \
output.

Are there any drivers I need?  has anyone else done this?

TIA for any help.

Colin.
