Connecting Parallel Port Printers via USB to your new Laptop or Desktop

  This article addresses two issues: 1. Connecting parallel port printers via USB; and 2. Accessing USB connected printers from old DOS programs. These thoughts alone may stop many businesses from thinking about migrating old applications forward to Windows 7 from XP. I will outline possible solutions.

While much of the home crowd (and younger crowd) using computers these days may not be familiar with the "parallel port", it is still a common interface used with many older printers in business. It is also referred to as the IEEE 1284 interface. The connection on the computer end normally has a DB25F connector while the printer has a Centronics-36F connector as in the pictures below.

Fewer desktop computers built in the last few years, and rarely laptops, nor nettops include the parallel port interface. As computers got smaller, old legacy interfaces have been eliminated to save space, in favour of faster interfaces such as USB (universal serial bus). Most printers built today include a USB interface, and may also include a wired network or wireless network interface.

While many of you might suggest just getting a new printer, there are still many business and retail POS (Point-of-Sale) systems that still utilize and rely on parallel-interface printers such as the Okidata dot-matrix printers, various thermal printers, and some sturdy HP LaserJet models.

As strange as it may sound to some, it is still possible to buy brand new Okidata ML320 9-pin dot-matrix printers, a standard in many industries, where the use of continuous or multi-part forms is a requirement. The current versions of these printers typically include both parallel and USB interfaces so physically connecting them to a modern PC is generally not an issue.

The problem I did run into recently was being able to find a PCI parallel port card for a desktop computer. Finding such a card these days at the retail level is unlikely, so eBay probably becomes a good source for this type of item. In general, adding a PCI parallel card is an easy process with a desktop computer and will work without any special setup (and you wouldn't need this article) rather than going the route of a USB to parallel adapter. Of course this won't help you with any new laptop or netbook which don't have room for such an interface.

What I did find was a Centronics 36-pin parallel printer to USB adapter. Though this is a bit of a specialty item, you might find them in your local computer store, but certainly easily found on eBay very inexpensively.

It works simply enough. Connect the big end to your parallel interface printer, and plug the small end into an available USB port on your computer. Windows 7, Vista, or XP should instantly recognize the new hardware device.

Depending on the printer you may still need to complete the setup of the new printer via Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a printer. Follow through with my example.

Select to Add a Local Printer and select the appropriate USB Port. Although not obvious on the outside, or even within Windows, each USB port is numbered internally, so it will be important to always use the same USB port for this printer.  Actually this rule really applies to any USB printer.

Add a Share Name for this printer to be used in a subsequent step.

If you plan to share this printer with other computers within your workgroup you need to turn on File and Printer Sharing. Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings > File and printer sharing > Turn on file and printer sharing.

Now you have a working parallel printer accessible from any Windows application. But what about your old DOS application?

DOS predated USB ports, so most DOS applications will only permit LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3, etc. While your DOS application should run in a Command prompt (CMD) Window, it still wants to access printer ports directly. For this we will use a little network redirection tip. In this example, our DOS program is configured to print to LPT2.

The following command will redirect LPT2 output to the Printer Share Name Okidata. At a CMD prompt enter the command:

net use LPT2 \\%computername%\printer-share-name /persistent:yes

Note: To remove this assignment, enter the following at a CMD prompt:
net use LPT2 /delete

Start your DOS program. Print to LPT2 and your output will be directed to the USB printer. Remember it is important to always use the same USB port for this printer. The only problem I encountered was after a system restart. The printer should be turned on when Windows is restarted to ensure that the "network redirection" takes effect.

Another reader, Mark, recently wrote and raised a good question about connecting a parallel-port security key (aka dongle) similar to the SentinelPro dongle shown below. These devices were popular with expensive CAD software and POS systems, but in recent years these security keys have been replaced with USB dongles. You may be quite satisfied using an older version of software without having to upgrade to the more expensive current version. In other situations, the software company is out of business yet you are required to keep using the software but now need to replace the computer hardware.

Unfortunately, the USB to 25-pin parallel adapter won't actually make your computer see this as a parallel port. It is still a USB port so your older software won't be expecting to find the security key there.

The risk is quite high when having to use any dongle -- it could stop working, it could be stolen, or in the case of parallel port dongles, it may be difficult to migrate to new hardware (planned or required). I sought a way to circumvent the hardware dongle for one of my clients. This was not an issue of getting around licensing, but for protecting the investment in the software and ensuring that we could continue using the software regardless of the hardware issues.

I found a company called SafeKey International located in Manitoba, Canada. After reviewing their site you can contact Robert by email at sales@safe-key.com or by phone at (204)669-4639 with a description of the software in use and the equipment involved. SafeKey has been successful with just about every type of parallel port dongle.

SafeKey provides a program (on their site) that will read the contents of your dongle. They then provide a custom driver or small TSR program that you simply start before your protected software and the SafeKey software emulates the hardware dongle. The product they provided my client has worked seamlessly under Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7, and without a parallel port present -- no dongle needs to be attached. We put the original dongle away for safe-keeping.

The solution for you will depend on the software you are running and the type of dongle in use. I would be interested in hearing of any solutions other readers find.

Update: February 22, 2013

A reader from Thailand had a recent inquiry. They were using some POS (Point-of-Sale) software under Windows 7 32-bit with AIO (All-in-one) Touchscreen computers. Since they couldn't add extra PCI interface cards, their question was how to connect two POS printers; one having a parallel (Centronics 36F) interface and the other with a serial (DB25F) interface.

In this case I recommended a USB to Centronics 36M (IEEE-1284 Type B) adapter; and a USB to RS232 DB9M Serial adapter, with DB9F to DB25M adapter. Again, to remind everyone, these adapters do not add parallel and serial ports respectively -- they connect the devices to USB ports. If your software is able to print directly to a USB port, then you should have no problem. If however, your software can only communicate with a parallel port (LPTn:) or a serial port (COMn:) then you will need to follow steps in my article. Redirecting COM ports should work similar to redirecting LPT ports (although personally I have not had the need to try it).

See, how Lenovo ThinkPad are tested

In a vacuum sealed shiny aluminum chamber cooled to -20 degrees, screens of about 20 laptops are lit up at the Yamato Labs facility in Yokohama, an industrial town adjacent to Tokyo. Ice has started to form on the edges of the laptops. 

A Metal Chamber cooled to -20 degrees. The Thinkpads being chilled in the sub zero chamber to test their workability at climes akin to the Mount Everest. 

An expedition to Mount Everest wants to take Lenovo's newly launched X1 Carbon Notebooks to the Summit, to collect and monitor environment data. The ThinkPads are undergoing chilling tests to make them work in extreme environments like on the top of the eight thousander peaks, in polar regions of Siberia, or by customers in upper regions of Norway orIceland. 

"The vacuum chamber also has the capacity to heat itself upto 60 degrees, to test workability of Laptops in Sub Saharan Africa or inside the bottom of ships," informs Masaki Suzuly, head of one of the tests at the Yamato Labs facility, which overlooks the Yokohama harbour front. 

The International Space Station, located 402 kilometers above Earth has been using the Thinkpads since its launch in 1998. Of course, the shelf life of a ThinkPad at the ISS space environment research laboratory is about 7-8 years, compared to the 1100 days (just 3 years) lifecycle of a notebook used in a corporate cubicle. 

"IBM's lawyers especially put a clause - 'No Onsite Service' for the Thinkpads sold to NASA!," muses Kevin Beck Senior Worldwide Competitive analyst at Lenovo. 

A smaller chamber to test singular Thinkpads in extreme weather conditions such as for scientific expeditions to the Mount Everest 

The ThinkPads, according to the Lenovo staff at Yokohama Labs, are designed to work normally in temperature ranges of 50-60 degrees. The heat tests make the ThinkPads ruggedized to 8 MIL specs (a standard for military specifications) for computers. The high grade of ruggedness makes them usable in war zones in Iraq, Afghanistan or a Thar Desert. 

As I move to the second floor of the Yamato Labs building in downtown Yokohama, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, I see a machine smashing the latest X1 Carbon ThinkPad (which costs Rs 85,000 a piece in India) from a height of 8 feet, banging it on a metal slab repeatedly . 

The automated Torture Drop Tester grabs the X1 Carbon ThinkPad from its sides, rises to a height, and then bangs it again repeatedly, before certifying it usable. 

Adjacent to the 'torture drop tester', another robot grabs a ThinkPad diagonally and drops it on a wooden table diagonally. The Corner Drop Test assesses the strength of ThinkPad's magnesium cage. The technician hands over the wounded notebook. Surprisingly, it has only developed an abrasion at the corner. But when the power button is pressed, it boots up normally. 

A temperature controlled chamber lined with pressure, stress and casing testing machines for the Thinkpad. The one on extreme right presses the Thinkpads with extreme pressure to test the tensile strength of it's chassis in the Robustness and Durability Testing Labs. 

Often on an office floor, we tend to handle our notebooks recklessly, dropping our laptop bags, often with a jolt on the floor. To test its capacity to handle shock, the ThinkPad is held by another robot on its two sides, laid flat on a metal floor, and given jolted heavily from left to right and vice versa, by a robotic machine. The test is continued for several hours to assess the strength of notebook's chassis. 

As if it was enough, the X1 Carbon was subjected to another torture. 

In another test, the X1 Carbon is kept on a table and a small round metal weight is kept underneath. Over the ThinkPad, about 20 kgs of weights which include two dumbles and an iron disc, are kept to test the strength of its LCD panel and glass. 

Acoustic Test: A mike listens to noise being produced by the hard drive of a Thinkpad in a sound proof chamber. The chamber walls are lined with wooden blocks to test the noise. The test is to make Thinkpads noise free, and usable in sound recording studios. 

Users often pull open a laptop from either left or right. To further assess the strength of its LCD panel, a machine holds open the X1 Carbon and pushes the tip of the notebook on the left and right for many hours to test its panel strength. Another test, assesses the hinges of the ThinkPad, by opening and closing it at regular intervals. 

Another test in the same facility is to make the laptops usable in zero noise environments - such as in sound studios and libraries. A lab at the Yamato facility is sound proofed by wooden blocks. The ThinkPad is booted up in an empty room. A highly sensitive mike is placed in the noise proof room. The test is to assess if a ThinkPad's hard disk or motherboard pass the zero noise emission standards, so that can be used by world renowned sound studios. The hard drive remarkably makes very less noise. 

A chamber lined with Thermocoled walls tests vulnerability of Thinkpads to electromagnetic waves. The chamber also tests the response of Thinkpads to receive Wi-Fi networks from any side. The table (in the middle) keeps on rotating to test the 360 degree effect of electromagnetic waves on a Thinkpad. 

On the same floor, Masaki Handa, a lab technician at Yamato Labs is giving a charge of about 9000 volts to a X1 Carbon's body by an electric gun. Moments later the notebook is found be without any static charge. 

If you are a regular use of a laptop, at some point of time you might have experienced a mild shock from the static charge, especially in older notebooks which have metal bodies. The test is to prevent deposition of static charges. 

The ThinkPad sells about 65 million units a year. "With these repeated tests we have been able to bring down the rate of return for ThinkPads for repair or service within one year of sale. Repair after two year of sale has been brought down to almost nil," adds Kevin Beck Lenovo's Senior Worldwide Competitive analyst and program manager for Lenovo's customer care centers. 

Despite its sale to Lenovo by IBM in 2005, ThinkPad remains one of the largest selling business notebooks. It is also the oldest Laptop brand alive, since it was given birth in 1992 at the Yamato Labs by IBM fellow engineer Arimasa Naitoh and his team. 

A ThinkPad museum in the same facility houses the first notebook made by Naitoh and his team in 1992. A few models of those used at Space Station are on display. It also showcases the world's first 7 inch ThinkPad which could double up as a phone, custom made for a few corporates by IBM. 

Naitoh moved on to Lenovo after sale of IBM's PC division to become vice-president of development for Lenovo's notebook division. But ThinkPad continued to weave its black magic in the computer world. In a candid chat with ET at Yamato Labs, Naitoh says: "I can't imagine what my life would have been if the ThinkPad hadn't been born."

About Talakadu (A Historical Place Near Cauvery)

It is the classical Indian story. A tale told by gods and demons, filled with kings and queens, replete with curses and boons. There is a little bit of history here, blended with some geology and topped with legends and myths. Set on the banks of the river Cauvery, this saga dates back to the 4th century and has certain intriguing elements, defying the very laws of nature. This is the tale of Talakadu, the erstwhile capital of the Ganga Dynasty which is now partially buried under sand dunes. Many rulers have reigned over this once flourishing city, but today it is a lost forgotten town, blown over by the sands of time



It was a natural curiosity to unearth the secrets of Talakadu that drove us from Bangalore one Sunday morning. It was one of those beautiful moments. The weather was just right. An eagle scooped down and soared away with the same ease. A herd of goats clamored for attention. Flanked by the verdant greenery, we passed fresh dewy fields, lotuses jostling for space in ponds, flitting butterflies and a few scattered hamlets. We saw glimpses of rustic life as various stages of harvest were in progress. The entire scene was an ode to the countryside. We ambled on for a couple of hours on the Mysore Road and took a detour at Maddur, passed Malavalli en-route to this sacred, historic town.

We were rather unprepared for this.  At the first glance, it was just a prosaic picnic spot, overcrowded with swarms of loud local tourists and besieged by persistent guides. We made our way towards the river bed, where the Cauvery flowed at her own pace. It presented an unusual, yet a stark picture. There were huge mounds of sand by the banks of the river, like a beach. With a canopy of tall eucalyptus trees spread out from the sand, it felt like being in the middle of a forest. The dense shrubbery, some lively birds and monkeys dangling between the branches completed the picture.

The mounds of sand were everywhere, like small hillocks, some as high as even 15 meters. It was a steep climb, as the feet sank in with each step. It was an inexplicable sight; nobody could fathom where the heaps of sand came from. The fertile soils of the Cauvery basin seemed to have become fine particles of soft sand by sheer magic. While the answer may be with a geologist, my local guide narrates this legend.

Urban legend

A curse of a woman he says is the cause of this sand blown town, an erstwhile fertile capital of several dynasties that ruled over Karnataka. A tale filled with greed and lust for power. It was the time when Talakadu and Srirangapatna were under the Vijayanagara Empire. The death of the last Viceroy, Srirangaraya provoked the Wodeyars of Mysore to declare war. As Srirangapatna fell, the Wodeyar ruler sent his soldiers to covet the jewels of the late Viceroy’s widow, Alamelamma. As she fled from her pursuers, she is supposed to have jumped into the Cauvery, uttering the curses. My guide gets all dramatic as he proclaims the curse, “May Talakadu be always covered with sand and may the kings of Mysore always remain without heirs.”  The locals fear the curse as they say that it has come true. Talakadu is mysteriously engulfed with a sea of sand and the family tree of Mysore rulers show a large number of adopted heirs.

The story moves from being a mere myth to some startling historic discoveries as well. Recent excavations have unearthed temples from these mounds of sand and each dynasty has left their architecture stamp on them.  My guide points out that 30 such temples are still buried underneath the sand dunes as we climb our way to the excavated areas 

Panchalingas

Talakadu is famous for the Panchalingas – the temples dedicated to Lord Shiva called Pathaleshwara, Maruleshwara, Arkeshwara, Vaidyanatheeshwara and Mallikarjuna .Of these, the first two are the oldest, built by the Ganga kings. The locals here say that the Shivalinga in the former is said to change color according to the time of day – from red in the morning to black in the afternoon and white in the night. To us though, in the cool afternoon, it was simply black.

We paused to give our feet a bit of rest and heard the story of Tala and Kada, the two hunters, after whom my guide says, this town is named. One more story, this time, it fuses a bit of religion as well. A sage, Somadutta and his disciples were killed by wild elephants when they were doing their penance. They were said to be reborn as elephants in the same forest.  Two hunters, Tala and Kada watched the ritual of the elephants offering prayers to a silk cotton tree and out of curiosity, axed the tree down, only to find it bleeding. A voice then instructed them to heal the wound with the leaves and the blood miraculously turned milk which immortalized the hunters and the elephants as well. A temple later was built here around the tree, and the place became known as Talakadu. 

We resumed our journey and reached the Vaidyanatheeshwara, the largest of them all, which was built by the Cholas. All these temples are neatly thatched and embedded in pits as we climbed down to visit them. Remnants of the bygone era were seen in some scattered stones, broken pillars, an ancient well and even some idols. The Pancha Linga festival is celebrated with much fanfare once in 12 years during the Kartika season, where the temples are allowed for worshipping. The last festival happened in 1993 and the next scheduled late this year. The lost and forgotten township sees throngs of devotees only during this period, while at the rest of times; it remains a desolate spot, with a few picnickers.

Besides the Panchalingas, another magnificent temple stands out even in the ruins. The Keerthi Narayana temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, built by the Hoysalas, to celebrate the victory of Talakadu over the Cholas. Scattered stones lie all over the place along with the pillars, stone inscriptions and some carvings are still prevalent. The main temple, intricately carved houses an eight foot tall idol of the deity.

Excavations, they say have unearthed a 12-foot tall stone mandapa along with remnants of Garuda kamba. Work by archaeologists is still in progress here, as we stroll among the many stones, which my guide claims are ‘originals’. It looked like each piece of stone was being numbered and the mantapas were being rebuilt to recreate the splendour of the past.

We had walked for more than a couple of hours, deeply engrossed in the continuous banter of our guide. Our feet caved in many a time, as we scaled the steep sand dunes. In the last two hours, we had traveled back to several centuries. We paused for a moment, taking in the sight. The silence was overwhelming. The voices of the past were buried under the layers of sand. We sat there, trying to build castles, but the wings gently swept them down. This, we realized was the destiny of Talakadu -the confluence of the historic and the holy spirit, where myths and legends merged, but were all completely swept away by the blasts from the past.

Getting there (Directons to Talakadu from Bangalore)

Talakadu is just three hours by road from Bangalore, en route to Mysore. It is about 130 km from Bangalore, which is the closest airport. You could drive down from the Kanakpura Road or take the good old Mysore Road upto Maddur, past Mallavalli and proceed on the road towards Kollegal. About 5 km before the detour for Shivanasamudra Falls, there are sign boards indicating Talakadu, 22 km to the right. The road is bad in patches and very often, it is long and winding, without any landmarks or signboards.
