usb to parallel port converter driver
Hi all
Actually I've searching for about three months till now about how to interface a parallel port using USB to parallel converter cause most of laptops and new PC's don't have the legacy standard IBM PC parallel port, so i tried to use the USB to parallel converter but:
it appeared to me in the device manager as a "USB printing support" not LPT port.
Also it is not accessible.
I read on many websites and forms it is impossible to interface parallel port using USB to parallel converter cause the parallel port use low level access while USB not, however many people interfaced a serial COM port using USB to serial converter successfully.
if anyone have answers please reply, i think there are many want to know this problem.
