Cannot install Epson TMU 220 d (Parallel Port) printer

First of all, let me start by saying that I am using this printer on the same machine for a few years, but every time I format my hard drive and install windows after I always have a time hard the installation of printer on the SAME machine.

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit), I matrix Epson - TMU 220 D printer with a parallel cable to print.

However as I don't have a parallel port on the motherboard, I put a map for this from bigning.

Now when I give a print command it only prints and when I check the printers and devices, it is said that the printer is offline (even though it is very well connected by cable and is switched on!)

OK I have finally, after many adventures have found a solution.

Its Port LPT driver,.

You see, I bought this last motherboard from Gigabyte which did not have a Port LPT printer on it, so I bought a "PCI to port parallel Card", so when I tried to install the printer with the latest Epson drivers they did install the latest version of the required software, but could never find a LPT port where he could search for the printer and so theoretically only it has been installed and that in a measure limited.

Details:

The card came with a cd with drivers. If initially, I managed to install the printer, but later on when I upgraded to windows 7 64 bit... Two things created problem that were:

1 PCI to the port PARALLEL card drivers were not compatible with my new operating system i.e. windows 7 64 bit (either they were too old... or I guess they were 32-bit). So I had to open my office pc and see the name of the manufacturer on the card (or through DEVICES ENTER) and asked them to send me a mail pilot - they were very cooperative. Through the channels if you are unable to get the driver for some reason, I suggest buying a new card as its very cheap about $ 6 and you'll get a cd of drivers with it - ensure that its 32 / 64 and is your compatible windows before you buy.

2. in the second place the TMU 220 d drivers that I had download were too old and I guess only 32 bits (not really sure of the part of bit if)

So once I got the latest driver from the manufacturer of the PCI... I was able to install the printer... as above, the printer driver failed to install printer correctly because he did not have any LPT port on my computer!

But before anything check if the printer cable WORK... because sometimes it will suddenly died and you think... There will be problem in there as it was working until yesterday... then before going to all the trouble sound good to check that too! Like Epson TMU 220 D is very robust and would get rarely defective.

    Hello

    You ask the best way?
    Well, you have only one way?

    You need an adapter USB to parallel. Check in google for certain offers.
    I searched in google and found some good options.

  • Parallel Port problem

    We used the kind of software that uses a key lock (which is connected to the parallel port), we have added new machines in our Mt. HP3330 company, i.e, who doesn't have a parallel port on the motherboard. The problem starts here, even after installing Add on parallel port & required installation driver, after the execution of programs, it gives an error not found "Key lock". This problem can be solved using the USB parallel port?

    Even after that the installation of the Add on parallel port & installation required pilot, after execution of programs, it gives an error "Key lock" not found

    You mean you bought a discreet the snap card to provide a parallel port?

    Check Device Manager for parallel ports that are available on your PC and what is their status...

    • Click Start
    • Click on run
    • Type devmgmt.msc and press enter
    • Enlarge (click on +) Ports (COM & LPT) section

    Please answer with the information on your parallel port (printer). Is there more than one?

    If there is that this means that even though there may be no physical outlet, your motherboard has the ability to add another via a ribbon cable.

    If this is the case there are two options...

    1. Configure your software to use the new (LPT2 probably) LPT port not LPT1.
    2. Remove the add-in and replace a cable sheet of the motherboard to a backplate with a parallel decision-making. You should be able to buy this th same place you bought the card.

    Tricky

    EDIT: 3rd option if you have 2 LPT ports: disable the port of the motherboard in the BIOS, uninstalling the card and its drivers. Re-install add it in card and should be LPT1.

    I need to work with Solid Works software. It is protected with HASP dongle which should be connected to the parallel port (printer port). But there is no such port on my Satellite.

    What can I do?

    Several ideas of spring in mind:

    -get a parallel converter cable / usb (not guaranteed)
    -get a parallel PCMCIA card (a bit expensive...)

  • Cannot install the scanner (Epson Workforce 500) Windows 7 driver

    I have an Epson Workforce 500 multifunction printer, copier, scanner, fax, which worked well in the past, but the scanner no longer works.

    I tried several times, following the line (and by telephone with a technician of Epson) instructions on downloading and installing the printer updated and drivers scanner Epson.  However, always, the installation stops and the message that drivers cannot be installed (and then restart and try again message appears).

    I was able to get the printer to work by plugging the USB cable to the printer and allowing Windows Installer the driver of the ESC/P-R, but the scanner does not work, and I did all the other characteristics of the available printer.  When I try to get the latest driver via the printer preferences, I get the message that I have already installed the most recent driver.

    More recently, I used the Troubleshooting Guide for the Epson, up to the point where it is said: ' Click or Start and select programs or all programs. "

    Select Epson or Epson printers, select your printer folder, and then select Epson Printer Software Uninstall. »

    When I do this, the program from the start menu does not have the listed Epson printer, or it displays the option to uninstall the printer.

    In addition, when I go into Control Panel, uninstall a program, the Epson printer is not as an installed printer.

    I tried once more to install the driver downloaded from the Epson site package and again, has received the message that the driver could not be installed.

    Then, I used the window update to install all the updates Windows 7, deleted the Epson printer, reconnect the USB cable and restart the computer.  Once Windows has installed the ESC/P-R driver, which she says is the last available.  I'll let it go and just not use the scanner if I can't get this resolved.

    Before you install go to start, make right click on computer, click on properties and the system window will open, left eye for click Advanced settings open then click on the Hardware tab, click installing driver and assigned to the let me select never install Windows update, and save at the bottom. You can set it back by default later if you wish. Now install the downloaded driver, have turned on printer, but do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted.

  • How to install a printer port parallel port Pavilion dv5 Notebook usb

    When trying to install my printer HP DeskJet 610C Parallel Port on my HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx Notebook PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, I followed the instructions given by the HP Support about two years back.

    I connected the two devices with a parallel port cable / USB. The PC loaded and confirmed the correct driver. (On the advice of sites on the Internet, I made repeated attempts to install the printer carefully, to no avail).

    Then my deliverance, the Print, the printer statement invariably prints two copies of what appears to be "gibberish" in two lines at the beginning of the worksheet. Subsequently, she picks up and ejects then 6-8 sheets of white paper.

    Any help to resolve this abnormal situation will be welcome and appreciated.

    I would add that the printer works normally when connected in parallel to an old Notebook Compaq Armada 1750 (XP OS). In this case also, the parallel/USB worked as in the PC Pavilion, above.

    Hi khalidem,

    Looks like you have a communication problem with the cables from the printer. Have you tried a new parallel to USB cable or adapter?

    Hey Buddy,

    What device is connected to the LPT1 port? Usually if you connect a device to LPT port and you turn on you will be asked for drivers. AFAIK the LPT device drivers must be installed before connect you.

    Several years ago I also used LPT connection for my printer but one day it didn't work. The problem was only a defective cable. I replaced it with a new one, and then the connection to the printer has been recognized again correctly! :)
