belkin usb to parallel port cable
-
I need to send a text file directly to a printer using the belkin usb to parallel port cable. I installed a generic printer so I could see the name of the printer port and then passed USB002 to WriteFile, but it gives me an error and says that the com port does not exist. Has anyone used this cable to send data directly to the printer through the parallel port and if so could you tell me how to do it or give me some pointers. Roger

A Com port is a serial port, not parallel. Did you install the driver for the USB to parallel adaptor (it is NOT just a cable)? The tigress is here :-D
