Bob, does this activate the LPT1 port in the Device Manager? Bruce

Bruce,

If you're using a Notebook computer, you could try an PC Card or ExpressCard
parallel port, or a serial/parallel combo. card, such as the
<http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Connectivity-ExpressCard-Parallel-SD-EXP50021/dp
/B002TLT982>  one made by Syba.

I briefly tested the Syba under Windows 7 with Win-Test with all ports
driven, and it worked OK.

73,
Bob, N6TV

I purchased a Cables to Go USB to Parallel Printer Cable adaptor and hope to
use it with Win-Test and a DX Doubler. Is there a way to configure the
Interface of Win-Test? According to the adaptor instructions, you must
substitute "USB001 - Virtual print port for USB" for "LPT1" in the Device
Manager for the printer driver. But, there is no printer driver for
Win-Test, I think.

 

Thanks. 73, Bruce K6ZB
