Title: Parallel Port Tester. (Software)You can use to trouble your parallel port
Post by: golash on May 05, 2014, 09:45:05 AM

Hi :)

Anytime I change to a different PC my biggest problem is setting up my parallel port. Just found this software
and tried it. Just create a directory in windows / program directory. Make certain the dll is placed in the same
directory as the drivertest.exe. I used windows 7 and it worked great

In recent times device manager has always given me enough info to sort out parallel ports along with my old break-out box, it was a different matter back in the day when your IO was generally a separate card and you had to manually jumper everything to avoid conflicts with any fixed address hardware ;-)

Works great for testing the port.
