How do I simulate a parallel (LPT) Printer with a USB Printer?
I have a legacy DOS application that needs to print to a LPT port and only have USB ports on the host machine. I have installed a usb to parallel adapter to connect the printer. The adapter installed correctly with the USB Printer Support driver, however the adapter does not appear as a LPT port.
USB to serial chip CH340 English DataSheet Version. Makes sure D+ and D- are parallel and supply ground net or pour. USB convert RS232 serial interface. Download latest version of verified & working Windows 8.1 x64 x86 driver for CH340, CH340G USB to Serial converter. USB to serial drivers for most serial RS232 devices. Download drivers for most types of USB to serial adapters and converters.
How do I assign a LPT port to the usb adapter?
