Say I've probably got a 'counterfeit' item.!?) Anyway, it doesn't work so I'm sending it back. I bought a new Ugreen IEEEE-1284 - USB cable from Amazon, with a new chipset & Prolific drivers, but, after the same initial problem, I got (two versions of) the driver loaded (one at a time) only to get a 'code 10' error both times. It is the 17th September today and the update which ruined the driver was downloaded on the 1st: 16 days of hassel, on and off! (Again, just a rant - apologies.) I Uninstalled it, removed it, updated it and rebooted but it never worked and as soon as I pluged/unpluged the cable, it reverted back to Unknown Device. When I checked following your advice, it has changed to an Unknown Device: 'Brother HL-1230': this is actually the printer, which is also duplicated (correctly) under Printer Queues. Previously, in Device Manager, the IEEE driver appeared as a COM (LPT1). I wish MS would not issue updates that break stuff which worked perfectly well before! (Not your fault, I know, but I just needed a rant.)

Please help me remove this IEEE-1284 driver, or at least stop it from loading every time. ‘General’ (with no options to do anything) and ‘Hardware’ (which only relates to the Brother printer driver and the MS ‘USB Printing Support’ driver (3.0) – ‘usbprint.sys’ in ‘System32’ folder.) The is no ‘update driver’ option available and ‘properties’ in ‘Devices and Printers’ only has two tabs, I do not want to roll back to pre-update Win10 as this will cause subsequent update problems – and it’s a rubbish, very temporary fix at best. I checked the box that says do not automatically download updates for drivers, but the ‘IEEE-1284 Controller (Unknown category)’ is already on my system and will not leave! Uninstalling or ‘Removing’ it just means it re-installs itself whenever I plug

Unfortunately, whenever I try to load the new cable/drivers, the old IEEE-1284 drivers automatically install as soonĪs I plug the cable in, regardless of the other driver installation. I assume it’s the 1st September update as I got everything working again after the massive (and annoying) 1607 update.Īfter much searching I found that older IEEE-1284 cables often do not work with Win10 so I purchased a new one with Win10 drivers. Windows 10 update stopped my Parallel (IEEE-1284)-USB adapter cable from working. Windows 10 Update stopped IEEE-1284 (Parallel)-USB Adapter Cable Working
