Here is the pin out of a parallel port, notice that there are more than 9 lines: I also recommend that you test your printer on another PC.
If you disconnect the printer from the computer and print a test page how does the test page look? (push the button on the printer to print the test page)
LPT1 TO CONVERTER SERIAL
The options in the driver are there for every printer, that does not mean that they will always work.Īt one point you could buy serial to parallel converter boxes, with those you would attach a serial cable to a PC and run it across a room to a converter near the printer, the serial cable would puug in to the converter, the electronic circuitry in the converter would convert the data to the parallel format, a parallel cable would go from the converter to the printer. The 6L has the large Centronics connector on the printer, that will work with the USB to parallel converters you can buy. You can buy a USB to Parallel adapter, it has circuits in it to convert the serial data to parallel data. You can NOT make a home cable to convert a serial port to a parallel port.
