Serial printing I want to print one line every 15 seconds by a serial connection. I use the pinning described in the manuals and also use the settings as described is the manual but nothing happens. I am sure there is data send because my laptop is listing with hyperterminal!!! Simple protocol Xon/Xoff , RD on pin 3 printer side (red), TD on pin 2 printer side (orange), signal ground pin 7 printer side (light blue). The parallel connector is cut off at one end!!!! so I connect directly.

SOURCE: Alarm light Microline 320 Turbo 9 pin printer - won't print

We swapped out the printer for another one we had in the office that was working. The new printer also got the alarm light. From that we concluded that it was a bad serial card. We swapped the serial card from another printer, and the original printer started working perfectly. Now we just need to find out where we can purchase another serial card, as we have no more 'spares' around here.

SOURCE: there is a serial port besides the parallel. how can i make it work with serial cable?

I know this is dreadfully old, but when using a Parallel-to-USB adapter with a non-USB printer, once the drivers have been installed for both the printer AND the USB adapter, you often have to point the printer driver to the correct port. Do this by going into the properties for the printer in the Printers folder (right-click, select properties). Select the Ports tab, then scroll down the list until you see the entry for the USB adapter - something like 'USB001 - Virtual USB Printer Port' or similar. Select this, hit 'OK' and give the test print a whirl.
