Dear All, I am not able to get the alarms printed on the Line Printer. I am having a Epson Printer with USB port connected to my system. Test page print is working fine. I have used "net use" and it tells "The command completed successfully". My printer list is empty, I have attached the screenshot for reference. I have unchecked the "Line layout for line printer" and I have configured my Epson printer in the Printer Setup tab. When I go runtime, I get a Popup telling that it cannot print to the Local printer. I have attached the screenshot of the same. I know this is a repeated thread and I am unable to come out of this situation. Kindly help me out. Thanks in advance. Regards, Mahesh

How do I simulate a parallel (LPT) Printer with a USB Printer? You can trick Windows by using the USB printer as a dummy "network" printer connected to LPT1. The dummy "network" is created using the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, which is basically a software-based network adapter that simulates a real live network. This "network" will only exist on your computer, which will also be the only computer connected to it. Here are the step-by-step directions on making this work: Install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter 1. In Control Panel, double click on Add Hardware, then Next. 2. Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)", then click Next. 3. Select "Network Adapters", then click Next. 4. Select "Microsoft" under the Manufacturer list, then select "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" in the Network Adapter list, and click Next. 5. Click Next, then Finish Configure the Adapter The loopback adapter is a virtual network adapter and can be configured the same as a regular network card. Set the adapter to have a static IP address in your network, such as 192.168.1.100 / 255.255.255.0 Share the USB printer Use a share-name easy to remember, such as "Printer". Connect the shared printer as LPT1 NET USE LPT1: \\[Computer-Name]\Printer /PERSISTENT:YES Maybe you can try this? |

Hi, well you have a solution. But for direct connection the solution of SteBo is fantastic. |
