USB to DB25(printer port)

On my old laptop I had a printer port. I was writing a digatal word to the port.It work find.
My new lap top does not have a printer port.So I wanted to use a USB to printer port adaptor.
I bought the adaptor and I can't seem to comunicate with the printer port via USB.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm using the parallel read write in lab examples.
The adaport I got showed up as printer support in windows device manager.
I believe I need to find an adaptor that has data paths for an eight bit word.
Once I find this and it shows up in windows device manager and automation explorer.
I should be able to select it as a visa resource.
Thanks

  • How do I remove USB virtual printer port

    Im having some problems printing (see different thread) so I have removed all reference to the printers and drivers (nothing in devices and printers; nothing in print management), Ive removed all USB devices (except the mouse) switched off and removed the
    battery for 60 minutes. The restarted.
    Still 3 USB ports
    Ive tried
    http://www.ehow.com/how_6688235_delete-usb-virtual-printer-port.html  but I cant see the virtual USB ports in device manager
    http://www.ehow.com/how_6910965_delete-usb-printer-port.html  But I cant (unsurprisingly) find the ports in installed programs
    http://www.ehow.com/how_5869559_remove-usb-printer-port.htmll  (delete form devices and printers) But when I highlight the port from printer properties and click delete I get "selected port cannot be deleted. The request is not supported
    Makes me think these are not properly installed ports.
    Ive searched the registry for USB001 and there are 4 USB00? entries all under unknown printer with headings like 6&30e6e7fe&0&USB003. So I tried to deleted all of them. It lest me delete the parameter sub key but I am not allowed to delete the other
    keys (error while deleting key)
    So after a bit of a search I came up with psexec (see link for more details and do take backups and read the instructions)
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/56fed319-a532-46a4-a384-fd795998c4a3/regedit-permissions-access-denied-or-error-while-deleting-key-even-as-admin?forum=w7itproinstall
    And that allowed me to get rid of the ports from the registry but they were still visible in Devices adn printers under ports (after slecting a device)
    So how do I get rid of these wretched ports?

    Hi,
    Yes, you could create a new port for other printer. Of course, you also assign it to a different print if you don't use this printer.
    The detailed steps are below:
    1. Click the START button, click navigate to "Control Panel", then navigate to and click on "Printers."
    2. Once the printers window is open, click on "Add a printer" in the dark blue menu bar.
    3. At the "Choose a printer port" section click on the "Create a new port" radio button then select "Standard TCP/IP Port" for the "Type of port."
    4. At the "Type a printer hostname or IP Address" section select "TCP/IP Device" for "Device type" and input the proper hostname depending on the printer that you are installing, the IPs for all of the different departmental printers can be gotten from the
    main printer help page on this website.
    5. At the "Type a printer name" section type in what you would like to call the printer under the "Printer name" section, this is entirely up to you. Here you also want to make sure that the driver that it says it will install corresponds with the model
    of printer you are installing.
    6. After the installation you should get a section called "You've successfully added [printername]." Here you should click the "Print a test page" button to make sure everything is installed correctly.

  • Classic - Printer port (USB 1) disappears after switching User

    I have used an Epson SP785EX on my iMac G5 under OSX 10.3 for months without trouble. I upgraded to OSX 10.4.8 and are constantly loosing this printer expecially when printing from Classic. After having tried everything including resetting the printing system it is still not clear what exactly causes the loss of the USB Port. However it may have to do with restarting or switching users. When in the chooser after selecting the original Epson Printer driver (which I have reinstalled many times) the Port (USB 1) does not show in the 'choose printer port list' (nothing at all shows). I have also tried the 'LaserWriter 8' solution which I do not understand. Perhaps someone can explain or point me to some literature. LaserWriter 8 shows in the Chooser but again nothing shows on the right pane of the Window. I am stabbing in the dark with this. Any help will be apprecated.

    I have used an Epson SP785EX on my iMac G5 under OSX
    10.3 for months without trouble. I upgraded to OSX
    10.4.8 and are constantly loosing this printer
    expecially when printing from Classic.
    The printing subsystem changed considerably between Panther & Tiger. In Panther, you had to have a working OS 9 driver in order to print from Classic. This caused problems, particularly with certain HP printers which had OS 9 drivers which were not properly coded, and with newer printers which did not have and never would have OS 9 drivers.
    In Tiger, things have changed. The default driver is the LaserWriter driver. You don't have to do anything, not even select the driver. The print system will print to the LaserWriter driver and the LaserWriter will print to the OS X driver for your printer. (This, of course, means that there must be an OS X driver for that printer...)
    After having
    tried everything including resetting the printing
    system it is still not clear what exactly causes the
    loss of the USB Port.
    Classic does not have direct access to hardware, including USB ports.
    However it may have to do with
    restarting or switching users. When in the chooser
    after selecting the original Epson Printer driver
    (which I have reinstalled many times) the Port (USB
    1) does not show in the 'choose printer port list'
    (nothing at all shows).
    This is normal.
    I have also tried the
    'LaserWriter 8' solution which I do not understand.
    Just print, normally. The LW8 dialog box will pop up. You can then select the printer you want to use. (I have several printers on my system, two HP inkjets, a Brother laser, a label printer, a fax modem, and Adobe PDF)
    1 type cmd-p or however you normally print
    2 select the printer from the pull-down menu on the LW8 dialog
    3 print
    4 the system will hand off the print job to the proper OS X print queue, which will then print the file. If you're printing in color to a color printer, you'll get color output. If you're printing to Acrobat Distiller, you'll get a PDF. If you're faxing, you'll get the fax dialog so you can enter your dialing & cover sheet info.
    Perhaps someone can explain or point me to some
    literature. LaserWriter 8 shows in the Chooser but
    again nothing shows on the right pane of the Window.
    I am stabbing in the dark with this. Any help will be
    apprecated.
    Just print. That's all.

  • Presario CQ56 win7x64 printer ports gone

    I have a presario cq56 win7 x64 that will not print. The printer ports have disapeared from all loaded printers. I get no error mssages. I have run troubleshooters from microsoft and hp and cannot identify the problem. I have tried to reload the printers, no luck. Please help.

    In the Devices and printers window, across the top, there is an option "Print Server Properties". This does list a bunch of printer ports. My printer is listed on a usb port. (I have attempted to connect wirelessly and usb). When I attempt to configure the usb port listed, "an error occured during port configuration. This operation is not supported." The TCP/IP port settings open, and with the exception of the port name/ip address, are all configured the same: Protocol - raw, Raw settings - port number 9100, LPR settings - none, SNMP status Enabled - community name - public, SNMP Device Index - 1
    There are six TCP/IP ports listed at this point, I have only one brand new Canon printer (MG5300) to get working.
    I found another port on the list; CNBJNP_888717B1A30A Canon BJ Network Port. I cannot view properties, or configure this port.
    I have entertained a system restore, but cannot go back far enough to get past the problem. (Wife says end of July)
    Thanks so much for your help, I'm lost on this one

  • Printer Port Problem

    I am running parallels - recently a problem has developed with my printer port.  When I plug the cable into the USB - the usual "Which device do you want to use - Mac OS or Virtual Machine" question no longer  pops up.  Ad my printer no longer works.

    You need to set up the peripherals from Parallels. Post your issue in the Parallels support forum.

  • Wireless Print Server (DPR-1260) - Manually Configure Printer Port

    I am trying to get my DPR-1260 Wireless Print Server (PS) installed, and need help with manually configuring the printer port (per Dlink).
    Status:
    A) Before trying to install the PS, I was able to easily install (2) USB printers, see them, and print to them.
    B) My new IMAC is hardwired to the router.
    *Recent Actions:*
    1) I've worked with Dlink and have verified that my network (my new IMAC, and my wife's wireless laptop (OS 10.39) see the PS (hooked directly to the router). It's IP address is 192.168.0.102 .
    2) I hooked both printers to the PS, and the address sees both printers as installed, and provide with LPR information (both printers are now hooked to the PS). Dlink does not guarantee printer compatibility, but says that since the site sees the printers, gives me LPRs, that the probability is good that they will be compatiable.
    3) My new IMAC sees this address in both OS and in XP (thru VM Fusion). My laptop (10.3x) also sees this address. However, I'm not able to install this printer.
    4) Per Dlink, I need to manually configure the printer port to install the PS.
    5) Dlink kept sending me to the Print Utility, but from what I see, that does not exist in 10.5.
    How do I manually configure the printer port to see the PS?
    Now, I am stuck, and help?
    Many thanks

    As DLink have said, you will have to manually configure a LPR queue to connect to your printers. The print utility in 10.5 is the Print & Fax util in System Preferences. Open this and choose to Add . Select IP and then LPR. Enter the ip address of the PS. Then you will need a queue name for the respective USB ports, such as P1 and P2, or something similar. Hopefully the DLink info mentions this so that you can print to the desired printer.
    The final bit of info you will need to know is whether the printer driver for each printer will work in this type of network. If either of them is a Canon then there is a good chance you will not be able to use supplied drivers. These types of connections require a third party driver, like Gutenprint, which is usually installed by default. If you are not sure, then please tell us which brands and models of printer you have.

  • No USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER PORT

    HP Pavillion ZD8000 notebook
    Windows XP service pack 3
    Lexmark Series x5650 printer
    Since I had laptop had no trouble printing.  Suddenly, cannot print.  Said printer was offline.
    So I uninstalled and reinstalled Lexmark printer.   (USB printer).
    Ran "control printers" - the Lexmark  is not there even though it says installed successfully.
    Plug and play can't fix it, and when usb is connected, says installed successfully.
    Looking further into issue, tried adding manually, but there is no
    USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER PORT FOR USB in the list of ports .
    Per HP instructions on reparing usb ports (although not sure if this was the issue anyway, I unintalled all the usb hubs from device mgr , reinstalled usb.inf, and even usbprint.inf.
    Problem still exists.  There is no virtual printer port.
    Can anyone figure this one out?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the quick response.
    All usb devices work fine. (other than the printer)
    I just don't know why it's not being recognized, and the virtual
    printer port is not appearing.   I have searched the net
    for hours and cannot seem to find a fix though I
    have tried the recommendations.

  • Error message on install no printer port could be assigned

    I have installed Acrobat 7.0 professional on my new windows 7.0 laptop. On install an error msg says "No rinter port could be assigned." I have tried a couple times and no luck. Any way to assign a pdf printer port manually?

    To my knowledge, no one has gotten AA 7 to work on Win 7. A few have succeeded with AA8. AA9 is the minimum certified to work on Win 7. You will likely have to upgrade for Win 7.

  • Error message: "Remove USB Device from printer."

    I have an HP Photosmart 309 a All-In-One.  It is attached to my desktop computer, which utilizes the Windows XP system. I've owned the All-In-One for about three years. I do not use the All-In-One -- or this computer -- very much. (I mostly use my laptop.)
    I have not made any changes to this computer and/or All-In-One in quite some time. This error message is new. I do not have a USB device attached to the printer.  Even with the error message displayed, the All-In-One allows me to print, but it will not allow me to make a copy or scan.  How do I make this error message go away?  What's wrong with my All-In-One?  Thank you for your help!

    Hi DuckLakeSue,
    I understand that you are getting an error message to 'Remove USB Device from printer'. Follow the steps provided in this link by the PrintDoc to determine if your wireless radio has failed.
    I hope this helped, let me know.
    Thank you,

  • How Do I Redirect LPT1 Printer Port to 'LOCAL Printer' in Windows 7

    I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS. 
    However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a 'LOCAL' PRINTER. I have already set up:
     - new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
     - the printer is SHARED, shared name is "HPLaser" (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
     - bat file as --> Net
    use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes 
       (I checked to ensure the 'Computer
    Name' and the 'Shared
    Printer Name' are correct. Tested by running bat command, no
    error message)
    When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon, 
     - the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling", 
     - then "printing" and "USB001" Port. 
    So, it appears to be printing from the DOS application, also
    note NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT print.
    The only difference between the 'Local Printer' setup and
    the 'Print Server Printer' setup is,
     the 'PRINT SERVER'
    goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port"
    and the 'LOCAL PRINTER'
    goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .". 
    IS THERE A PROBLEM in
    SETTING UP THE 'LOCAL PRINTER'
    with 'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port???
    If so, how do I resolve? If not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s). Thanks.

    Hi,
    you install the new printer, which port you choose to use? What do you mean by saying "'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port"
    here?
    As the printer is configured locally, there is no need to redirect the port to it.
    Install a printer

    Here for more information:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows-vista/add-or-remove-a-printer
    If possible please take a try to delete the printers holding the Lpt1 port, then reconfigure the local printer following the instructions provided above.
    Hope this may help

  • How do I get my USB to wireless printer on a network without a computer?

    If you have a USB to Wireless printer and no computer to use the software to do this and do not want to use the WPS option (or it is not available), then the following method may help.
    This is intended to get a USB to wireless, like the Deskjet 3512 printer, on the wireless network when there is no computer available.  However, this can work from a computer as well if you prefer not to install the software.
    For these steps, I will use an iPad.
    1.  The printer will broadcast a wireless network of its own.  This usually has HP Setup and the model of the printer listed in the network name.  Connect a wireless device to this network.
    2.  Once connected, open the browser.  In my case, this is Safari.
    3.  Enter the 192.168.223.1 address in the address and press go to access the printer's status page.
    4.  Once there, there will be many tabs at the top.  Select Network.
    5.  Select Wireless Setup Wizard.
    6.  Select Next at the bottom.
    7.  It will search for available networks.  Select your network from the list and select next.  The network should be highlighted, select it again if it is not.
    8.  It will ask for the password.  Enter the password and select Next at the bottom.
    9.  The printer should now be connected to the network.  It may take a few minutes to reflect this.  Reconnect the computer or mobile device back to your regular network and it should be good to go.
    ↙-----------How do I give Kudos?| How do I mark a post as Solved? ----------------↓
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    If you are able to go to other websites, then the iPad is not connected to the printer's network.  The first step is absolutely key for this process to work and that is to connect the iPad to the printer's broadcasted network.
    For the steps to work, the printer will need to be connected to the printer's SSID for the printer's IP address to load.
    While connected to the printer's SSID, there will be no internet connection so no websites will be able to load.
    The steps provided are for mostly newer model printers that have the 192.168.223.1 address reserved in them.  However, older printers use a 169.254.X.X address.
    What model is your printer?  You may need to connect the iPad to the printer and then print a network config page off the printer to get the proper address for the printer.  
    What model is the printer?

  • TCP/IP Printer ports - HELP PLEASE

    I have a large inkjet printer that I print my graphic design to... for years it has been set up and printing just fine through an Actiontec M1424-WR-rev.D router. No setting were ever changed in the router, it just worked great right out of the box (the Verizon guys installed it). I had a small router with the cable company, but when I got the new router from Verozon the install guy said i didn't need it any more, and moved the ethernet plugs over to the new router. Everything worked fine for years... until the wireless functions started to fail (I don't use the wireless for the office, just the family), so, Verizon told me I had to replace it with a new M1242WR - rev. I router. I transfered all the cables over the the new router in exactly the same positions the were in on the old router. Now my printing software (RIP software) can't see the printer when it's routed through the FiOS router, but If I move the ethernet cable from the router and plug it into the back of my computer, which disconnects my computer from the network and gives me a dedicated ethernet connection to the printer... everything works fine. It's just when I try and run it through the router that my computer and printer can't talk to each other.
    My RIP software that drives the printer demands a STATIC IP address set up in a TCP/IP printing port, and the printer is set up with the corresponding static IP address (this is unavoidable). Images of the setup screens below...
    The RIP software setup is here... very simple:
    Now, on the actual printer, the IP address matches (192.168.0.110), the subnet masks are 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is set at 192-168.0.1.
    This is all the info I have, and all I know is that it worked fine with no setup on the old router, and does NOT work on the new router... it used to be plug-n-play, now it's plug-n-stop.
    Again, when the ethernet cable run directly from the computer it drives the printer just fine, connected to the router first and it failes completely.... HELP!!!!!!!!!!
    Like I said... this has worked great for years, I haven't changed a thing on the printer or computer... the only change is the new router... I'm out of production until I figure this out (
    Cabe...

    The revision I router out of the box uses the following default IP addresses
    192.168.1.x IP Address
    255.255.255.0 Subnet
    192.168.1.1 Default gateway
    I notice you aren't using that IP Address scheme at all in the screen shots.  Did you change the Verizon router internal settings to use the 0.1 ip scheme? 

  • Acrobat 7.0 Printer port problem with windows 7.0?

    I installed adbobe acrobat 7.0 standard on my new computer (windows 7.0), and I get this message: "warning 20225 adobe 7.0 ws unanle to setup adobe printer port." Does acrobat 7.0 work with windows 7.0?

    If you are able to open Acrobat and Distiller, then you may be able to create a work-around. If the Adobe PDF printer was created, but not the port, then change the port to a "print-to-file" setting. Then open Distiller and setup a watched folder that you would print the file to. When you print the file, you may have to set the file extension to PS rather than the default PRN. The file would be a PS file and the extension is only to help the watched folder setup. Then try to print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if the watched folder will do the job. I am not sure and have not tried it on Win7 (I have AA9) but it is an option to try. If it does not work, then it is time to upgrade -- may be a good idea anyway.
