<P class=MsoNormal>Hi Jane. Joe Ruffalo gave me your email as someone who
can, hopefully, hook me up with the tech expertise I need.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have 2 old braille printers that still work well. The
problem is, they connect to a PC via parallel cable, and my Windows 7 PC only
has USB ports. I bought a USB to parallel cable, and connected the printer
to my PC.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I defined the printer as generic/text, and tried to
print. Nothing. I tried defining the printer port as USB001, or as
LPT1, and neither printed.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>What I’d like to know is, which port should I define the
printer to?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>And, is there something I’ve missed in this
setup?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I contacted the printer manufacturer, and they said they
don’t support it anymore, goodbye.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I hate to throw out perfectly good printers, just because
they connect in old ways.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hope someone knows the answer.<o:p></o:p></P>
