Hi Joe As per other replies I was going to suggest this won't work because USB adapters are for printing only and my solution would be to buy an old 486 or early pentium laptop and use that, I've bought several over the past few years for really silly money on Ebay for this very reason, but I have come across what might be a possible solution.... _http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/bastelecke/Rund%20um%20den%20PC/USB2LP T/index.html.en_ (http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/bastelecke/Rund%20um%20den%20PC/USB2LPT/index.html.en) I can't vouch for this, just found it via Google, and although the drivers are downloadable you need to buy the adapter and have to email for prices, but it might be worth a try. My preferrred solution would still be the old laptop:-) Regards Nigel GM8PZR In a message dated 11/01/2013 13:09:45 GMT Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Not sure where to ask this question but thought I would start here. Is there a way to connect a parallel port to a computer via USB? Not a device that shows up as 'USB Print Support' but, instead, shows up in Device Manager as an LPT port? I have been able to do it via PCMCIA to Parallel Port adapters but I have never found a USB device that would do this. My goal is to connect a parallel port chip programmer via USB but the software only looks for LPT ports. It works with PCMCIA to parallel port adapters but I haven't solved the puzzle yet with a USB connected device. Thanks in advance.
