Firstly you need to identify the interface that is fitted and check it conforms to the protocol you are using. This is an extract from the user guide.

"A computer running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 can be used with the printer's parallel interface. A computer running Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP can be used with the printer's parallel or USB interface. Optional interface cards are available to supplement the printer's built-in interfaces and provide added network compatibility"
