I have a Cumana parallel port drive and plug my printer HPDJ500 with turbo
driver into the cd "out" connector. I have no problems as long as I have
both printer and drive switched on. To ensure this both share the same mains
socket to ensure that one on means both on.
I have no problems at all, but did have them when I tried to use a switch to
allow me to use my scanner as well.
