Citizen Printer

I NEED A DRIVER FOR AN EPSON LX-800 IMPACT(DOT MATRIX PRINTER)?

I HAVE AN EPSON LX-800 PRINTER CONNECTED TO A DESKTOP AND ITT WORKS PERFECTLY THERE. BUT WHEN I CONNECTED IT TO MY LAPTOP (USING A PARALLEL TO USB CABLE) IT PRINTED A TEST PAGE AND NEVER WORKED AGAIN. THE GUY FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE CABLE SAID THAT I NEED TO REINSTALL THE DRIVER. I TRIED LOOKING FOR IT ALL OVER BUT I HAVE TO EITHER PAY FOR IT OR GET A DOWNLOAD THAT IS REALLY CRAPPY. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME IT IS SO FRUSTRATING EVEN EPSON WONT HELP ME.

1. The problem is not the printer drivers. The problem is the Parallel to USB cable. Have you tried connecting the printer using just a straight parallel cable. If you've tried this cable on its own and the problem still happens then the problem will be the printer drivers. I've had the same problem with this printer before and have to use a staright parallel cable to connect to the laptop and desktop.
