Hi, these USB to parallel adapters are actually printer port adapters. This means that they connect a centronics printer to your USB host. They do not - and they can not - simulate all aspoects of a parallel interface. a classical parallel interface allows for port level IO which is simply not possible via USB. A printer port - sometimes referred to as centronics port - only uses a subset of these features. Therefore, your embosser might simply rely on features not supported with the USB printer port class. /Roland
