Parallel port on Windows 7?

Hi all

I'm trying to migrate some older software (LV and otherwise - all internal written anyway) who communicates via the parallel port on a Windows 7 (64-bit).  The GPIB based programs all work fine, but I can't find a way to talk to the parallel port.  The machine (HP Pavillion Elite) came without a parallel port, but I found a card PCIe (Startech PEX1P) which adds the value 1.  It appears in the Windows Device Manager, but the address of the resource is listed as D010 rather than the old 378, and it cannot be reconfigured (the folks at Startech says Windows actually assigns the address).   Any suggestions?  Anyone try this yet?

Thank you

I know this is not guaranteed, but following the actual signs, I (finally!) got the Startech PEX1P card to operate!  Instead of using the Port.VI, I tried to use VISA you writing again, but this time, I updated the land of terminals 11 and 12 by the document OR on the use of the Parallel Port in LabVIEW.

Dennis Knutson says:
Even functions in new versions of LabVIEW with the correct representation for the address lines is not guaranteed to work on your OS and 7.1 is not supported at all. The AccessHW dll must also be written for the OS and it will not happen. I say LabVIEW upgrade and use VISA or stick with an older operating system.

  • Printers in double parallel port in Windows 7

    I finally got my Laserjet 1100 to run in Windows 7, after discovering that the parallel port card, I installed in the computer reports as LPT3 and COM3. I had installed several times on LPT1, which makes sense in time, but it is now clear to me that Windows 7 reserves somehow LPT1, LPT2, COM1 and COM2.  Once I updated the LPT1 port installation, everything became nice to me.

    Accordingly, I have several parallel port 1100 LaserJet install, Copy (1) copy (2), etc.

    I don't see any what parallel port printers in printers HP install page but I would like to delete the extra copies.  How can I do this without having to edit the registry.  I can't see anywhere them.

    Should be a simple problem.  The printer now prints correctly, using a driver supplied in Windows 7 (driver MS), but the scan function is no longer available.  I read somewhere that this would be the case.

    I also use COM3 to synchronize my PDA Palm Pilot, something I have used for years. (I just got a driver for the PDA Installer, nestled in the saved XP files. It is not available online AFAIK.)

    An example: the name of the printer HP1100 (copy 2), etc.  They all had (MS) under the name of the pilot, indicating that it came with Windows 7.

  • Add PCI Parallel port card for PC comes with no port does not print.

    I recently got a few new computers that were shipped with Windows 7 Professional. I forgot that they do not comes with a parallel port.

    These computers are intended for a point of sale application, which requires a matrix printer. First I tried USB to parallel to connect the printer, however, this does not work, because the printer is not smart enough to identify itself, it will not appear as a printer.

    My next solution was to add parallel ports via PCI cards. The card installs very well, and Windows 7 detects the drivers for it and installs. No errors appear in the Device Manager, but a couple of weird things happen.

    1. the device manager gets the parallel ports under Ports (COM & LPT) but it also gets a "multifunction adapter" in a different section (not in front of the PC now, so I don't remember which.) Both devices appear to be fine and report that they are working correctly.

    2. under "Devices and printers", I get 1 (or in the case of a card dual parallel port, 2) ' Microsoft aw Port"devices.

    I then install the driver from the printer and add the printer to "LPT3" which is the device of parallel port added in Device Manager. Print a test page, and... Nothing. Open the print queue and it is empty. Try printing a test page, and it will appear briefly in the queue and disappears, just as it would if the print job was successful. If I try another device, it (as expected) reports an error that the device does not exist.

    Although it does not directly concern, article in the knowledge base at the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883253 seems to describe some similar circumstances, enough so I wonder if there may be a connection. Maybe the parallel port arbitrator is not installed in Windows 7 by default if the PCs have no one? If this is the case, how do I install it?

    If it's a goose chase wild... Well, that's why I asked the question.

    Help!

    Well, call it weird...

    I found an another USB to parallel adapter, rather than trying to directly convert the printer, it installs like a USB IEEE1284 adapter. (If it's a USB parallel port). This appears also in the 'ports and devices', but as an adapter of 1284. Try the printer. Bingo.

    Here's the weird part. Once Windows 7 installed the drivers for this device, I unplugged and then reconnect the printer parallel port PCI. I changed the printer I have installed (on the USB001 device) unit LPT3 and bingo. It still prints. He continued to work even with the unplugged USB adapter.

    So I strongly suspect that there is some kind of pilot missing for a missing parallel port, which Windows 7 don't think he needed to use a PCI parallel port but he knew that she needed a USB parallel adapter. I only wish I knew precisely what pilot that he was. Maybe this will give some clues so people who know Windows 7 might be able to understand. I'm more than willing to answer questions if anyone wants to know what really happened here.

    For memory, the sequence I went through was: I tried the printer (installed with the drivers from the manufacturer for Windows 7, 32-bit) installed on LPT3 device which Windows 7 acknowledged the parallel port as a map. Checked the symptoms that I have stated above. Print job appears to be completed, but the printer does nothing. Uninstalled the printer. Plugged in USB to parallel adapter, expected for Windows 7 recognize the device and install the drivers. Plugged into the printer (PnP does not.) Install the printer using the same drivers as before, but using the USB001. Printer worked. Disconnected the printer from the USB adapter and reconnect the parallel port card. Changed the printer to use LPT3 Ports print configuration tab. This time, it worked.

    Repeatability, I did the same thing with the other parallel port PCI card and a similar printer on another position of the same work. This facility began with the installation of map of parallel port PCI first, then followed the same sequence, with the same results.

    So, my problem is solved, but I think that it is unreasonable to plug a USB adapter for a PCI card.

  • Windows 7, need to force a PCI Parallel Port IRQ 7 and e/s h 0378

    I have a Kodak FD300 APS Film Scanner.  It is a device that works only under Windows 95/98.  I kept it Windows would have a compatibility mode that would be necessary and hope me to run it.  Fast forward to today.  I have Windows 7 Ulitmate and I bought a parallel PCI Multi i/o card and using compatibility mode was able to install the software of Scanner Film.  When I try to open it, I get an error, which, according to the documentation of the Scanner, has to do with the fact that he really preferred having IRQ 7 and i/o 0378 h.  But when I look at it in Device Manager, the box to automatically assign parameters, and it is grayed out.  I searched the web and have not found any direction on how I can manually assign this map these settings so I can test completely if the compatibility mode allows me to use the device.  I would like to know shortly before my time runs out to flip a card parallel port I have no other use for this film Scanner.  I would really use it again and to help other owners of FD300 who still use the APS film and this scanner.  Thank you.

    If these settings are changed are not a Windows problem, it's a driver problem.  Contact the company for instructions or drivers updated, if none is available, then send it back.

  • I need to connect my HP 2200 printer for a 32-bit Windows 7 system with NO parallel port

    I have an older HP Business Jet 2200 printer coming to leave, and I love using it.  My problem is the upgrade to windows 7 and a computer-ish with NO parallel port.  I have seen cables with female parallel to USB connectors, but the cable I have has a male connector to my 2200.  I have a Dell XPS 600 former with no parallel port I want to use as a backup computer.  My system is Windows 7 32 bit.  Can someone help me? should I think about a direct stream map server thingie or I can just a cable for this?  Thank you all!

    I am VERY happy to share positive results for my project listed above.  I went on Ebay and raised his eyes to the parallel to USB cable port and found a 36 pin, which was what I needed.  I got it for next to nothing

    36 pin parallel USB IEEE 1284 Printer Adapter Cable - I got it home, plugged into the side 36 pins, the business jet HP 2200, then plugged on the side of the USB to the Dell XPS, I worked with - and immediately the cable acknowledged.  It took me a few tries to get the software and I didn't know if it was to be on the LPT or USB, so I played with both and it was released as an HPA installation, which worked like a charm!  With the fragility of the printers of today; This printer is one of the sturdies and I can still get parts for it.  He has been a workhorse for me for six years now and of course, it has been around since the beginning of the 2000s.

  • How to get the driver to a parallel printer using windows update without a parallel port on my laptop?

    I have an asus WL500g and I use it as a print server. On my big pc on windows 7. I managed to install the driver on the printer directly on the pc connection an update of windows to get the driver of the Sina. After installing the driver I passed it to the port by using the ip address of my router. It works, but my laptop doesn't have a parallel port, so it is not possible to obtain the driver. What can I do?

    You do not want drivers for parallel port on the laptop anyway given that the laptop is not connect via the parallel port, but rather on the network. You would most likely want to install drivers on the laptop Asus print server, and then print to a network printer drivers. Download the Asus former and latter printer mftr.

  • LPT1 in the hardware Manager, but not in the virtual machine settings. Parallel port software unable to find LPT. Windows 7, 64-bit and XP virtual

    Hallo,

    the forum is full of questions similar to mine and everything seems complete without useful answers some time early last year. I would like to give a try today to see if I get a solution.

    Have Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and installed XP mode to be able to use the chip programming hardware (GALEP-III), which is connected via the Parallel Port. Downloaded XP mode later than yesterday (24.02.2011) Microsoft.

    In the XP box, the LPT1 port appears in the hardware Manager. But it does not appear in the settings for the XP mode. The Galep software starts just fine, but can't find the PARALLEL port.

    As written above, there are many people who have the same problem and seem to have gotten no solution. One piece of advice I found was to modify the VMC

    LPT1 (378 h-37Fh)

    1

    The above did not work. I think it was for a different version of XP-mode.

    Then there was advice on LPT need 378 h-37Fh. It's fine with my pc.

    Then, there was a Council to stop the 'Print Spool' Service on the host pc. I tried in vain.

    So, if there is a solution to my problem, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    (Note: I'm not interested to connect a printer.) I have an IC programming material that can connect only through a parallel port. It also comes with a security dongle. GALEP III).

  • Use of the parallel port

    Hello

    I have a lot of experience with earlier versions of Dasylab (up to V9) and recall his ability to use the parallel port of PC as a "quick & easy" way to get digital input/output lines of the PC. If my memory serves me well, done by activating the sound card driver?

    However, I recently bought the latest version (V13) and it seems the digital input / output modules are now grayed out when the sound card driver is selected, i.e., it only allows to input/output analog (audio).

    Is it still possible to drive this port with the latest digital lines... .or have I missed something?

    Thank you best regards &,.

    This feature has been removed a few versions ago. With the changes in Windows after XP, it became problematic.

    If you are still using XP with DASYLab 13 and will always have a parallel port, you can retrieve the V9 sound card driver and try it.

    If you need me to download it or email it to you (it is usually an illegal attachment), let me know by private message with your email address.

  • Driver for old parallel port; This device has a problem: Code = 28 (0x1C)

    We organize a Dos based Windows 98 application and I need to find a driver for the integrated parallel port. The motherboard is an ASUS P5GD2-TMX/S. Both the local provider and ASUS only provide XP and more drivers for the motherboard. How can I determine the manufacturer of the parallel port and download the driver directly from their site? I done this before for the serial port and downloaded and installed a Sunnix driver, which worked.

    I did some research on the North Bridge, South bridge and the Super i/o chip set, but to no avail. Here is a copy of the output of sysinfo32.

  • parallel port of LabVIEW

    I would like to write to a data generator circuit connected to a parallel port.

    Is there a driver for parallel port in labview on windows xp?

    Examples see LabVIEW 5 only if you are using LabVIEW version 5.

    If you are really using LabVIEW 8.2, you should have the example called Parallel Port and loop to write. There is nothing in this VI which refers to older versions of LabVIEW and the only restriction is that he cannot run on Vista.

  • I'm waiting times tries to access a parallel port with VISA

    I get VISA time-out errors when you try to write to the parallel port. MAX said that the port works and I should be able to communicate with him. Device Manager Windows 2000 also said that the device works. I use writing to the parallel port with VISA example I found on the site of nor. To make it even more confusing (or), it runs on one computer but not another. All software and drivers are the same on both machines. On one who gives me the error of time-out, I am able to write to the parallel port using "accesshw".

    What a coincidence. The computer that I had problems with is also a Dell Optiplex. The pins of wiring together the way that you have specified has solved my problem of timeout. The cable I got with just bad has terminals 11 and 12 low attached as indicated on the page with a link to the code sample titled "with the help of VISA to access the Parallel Port in LabVIEW" I know why the original cable worked with a bridge but not a Dell Optiplex. Thanks for the quick fix!

  • Using the Parallel Port

    Windows does not allow for QBASIC uses the parallel port (address = 888 or 378 h)

    If you know the 3rd party software that there access to this port it please tell me

    and why user port does not work with windows vista

    Most any version of Windows that is based on the new testament 'sources' (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Windows 7, Server 2003/2008) all do not support 'direct' access parallel ports / series. This is normal.  You may need to add a non-Microsoft Windows 'core' driver to allow this access.

  • HP930c driver for Compaq Presario again with no parallel port but...

    I have a HP 930C printer, which works very well with as a local printer on the Dell desktop computer. I just bought a new laptop Compaq Presario CQ57, running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium, which I have "networked" to the Dell. Everything works fine BUT I want to print on the Compaq 930c, 'through' the Dell printer.

    In other words, using the 930c as a network for the Compaq printer, never as local Compaq printer.

    PROBLEM:

    to do this, I need a 930c on the Compaq driver: the original driver is on a DVD / CD that tells me that Win 7 is not up-to-date enough to Win 7 process, download the drivers from HP tells me the driver built into Windows 7 (!), but Win 7 can not finish installing the driver because the process requires that the 930C is connected to the device of Win 7 (Compaq). But the Compaq has no parallel port (only USB) so I can't plug it! And nor would I, I want to do all my printing via my network domestic (IE "by the Dell).

    Useful thoughts or suggestions on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated - please!

    Recently bought 3 new jobs: 2 7-1 w/Windows XP Pro w/Windows... It is: my old HP Laserjet 2100tn will not work with these computers due to them being not a port at the back of the computer.

    Converters for the cables to grow what they do? Or is the basically useless printer at this point?

    You can buy and install parallel port adapter cards and the printer works. I can't specify what are the cards as you have not told him what the specs are on your workstations. There are also usb-cable converters available parallel port.

    Best regards
