Samsung ML-4500 with IEEE 1284 to usb cable not...

Question

I have winXP Pro and a Samsung ML-4500 connected using an IEEE 1284 to usb cable. I try to print a test page and it acts like it's working, but nothing prints and I get a printer error. If I cancel the print and try to print again in just hangs until I recieve an error. If I restart my computer and try to print again it acts like it's working, but still no page.Any help please
