Hi all,
I need to emulate a centronics printer on the PC parallel port to grab the
printed output of a laboratory instrument.
At the moment I have the following ideas to investigate:
-
Write some s/w (user or kernel mode) above ParClass driver, configure
ParClass to work in reverse mode and build a custom cable to emulate the
handshake signals of a Centronics interface. -
Find on the market a Centronics to Usb converter and vrite a Usb
functional driver.
Anybody know if such a converter exists ?
I cannot use a parallel/serial converter for performance reason.
Any suggestion will be very appreciated,
PaoloC
