Question:

On an HP LaserJet Plus or 500 Plus, how do you run the parallel port?

Response:

The factory settings make the serial port active, thus disabling the parallel port. If you want to run parallel, you must select the parallel interface by means of a single DIP switch located behind a removable cover on the back of the printer.

There is also more information in the technical reference guide, under the section titled “Selecting the Parallel Interface.”
