I have an A500 and a HP Deskjet plus printer like you, and i use the same
cable to print from amiga and from my IBM-PC with no problems.

The cable is a normal straight through IBM parallel cable.

I think that your problem is in the preference program on your amiga or
your cable is broken, but the cabel you bought is a right one.
