I have an old printer that c/w a parallel port. So, I use a // to USB cable. When I turn on the printer, it has a Print Service Error. Eventually , I un-plug the USB cable to the back of the PC, and the printer error disappear.

Could a cable of // to USB plug to the PC USB port, causes printer not boot up properly?
 
using // instead of typing parallel makes you look like a doofus.

Anyways USB->Parallel port converters are really dodgy. Throw the printer in the garbage and save yourself the hassle.
 
But I almost never use the printer. w/i ea. yr., I turn on the printer maybe 5 to 6 times
