I also bought a USB to parallel cable, thinking I could just connect it to a USB port, but the socket on the printer seems old and strange, and it won't connect to the typical parallel cable. I'm in San Diego and Radio Shack couldn't help me as they only had the same USB/parallel cable which I already have. How else can I connect a 25 pin parallel cable onto my new laptop, so I can print?

new hp dv2000 laptop, should I just assume the optimal configurations were the default? I just got a new HP dv2000 laptop. All I've done really is get it configured to my home and school wireless. I have a linksys wireless g with speedbooster at home and whether it's wireless or directly connect to the router I never have an "excelent" connection, always just "good". Why is that? Am I running my comp or a slower wireless connection (802.11b/g vs 802.11 b or whatnot)? What can I do to check this? Should I just assue the defaults are the optimal connections? Is it a problem with my router? How can I get an "excellent connection" at home? Thanks!
my new hp dv2530ea laptops hard disc makes audible scratchy noise than normal laptops. help me pls..? Hi I have bought a hp dv2530ea laptop 3 days ago works good but the hard disc makes scratchy noise which is very much audible. When I took back to the dealer(curreys digital UK) they told we cannot do anything unless it affects the performance. And I searched in the net and found the noise is due to core2 duo's C4 functions noise. But I disabled the function and I noted that the sound it is clearly from the hard disc and not from the processor and the processer makes a very low screeming sound which is managable . but the soud from hard disc is very nuisance to here. Please help me to solve the problem. I bought from UK and I am here for my graduate studies. Being a new place I don't know what to do. Please help me.. I wonder why the dealer is not careing about this problem and they say this is the first case to report the problem...
