Likely these drivers won't even exist. Typically under DOS, data was sent over the parallel port to printer, thus no drivers needed. Windows 3.x might have had some drivers for printers, but unlikely HP creates Win31-drivers for their new hardware. Maybe a generic choice like using the HP Deskjet500C driver will do the trick, or some Postscript or PCL driver. Hope your device it's not a so-called Win-Printer (just like Win-Modems) which means operating systems outside of Windows can't make the printer function as most processing is done by software instead of the printer hardware processor itself. > The printer is an all in one with USB which I can convert to parallel. Ehm? There's USB-adapters to connect LPT-printers which work, and there's printers that have both USB and parallel port. That would also work. A printer without parallel port can't be connected to parallel port on your machine by any converter whatsoever. > Where can I find such? No idea, maybe DOS USB printer drivers exist that pretend the printer to be present on an additional fake parallel-port.
