They don't usually work..... USB devices have data hard coded in them which
tell the USB port (and therefore Windows) exactly what they are. Older
legacy devices don't have this data... so the poor operating system has
absolutely no idea what is connecting to it or what it should do with it.
See if you can take the cable back.... and get a newer printer instead.
