Dear AT community,
I was wondering if you could help me solve a problem I have.
I would like to print as indicated in heading. I have the following:
1. Device that only prints to LPT
2. Windows XP 32 computer that has LPT port and USB port. It can print to printer via both.
3. Printer with USB and LPT ports.
Objective:
Make it possible for both devices (device and computer) to print to same printer without physically switching cables.
Proposed solution:
I was thinking to connect device to computer via LPT, and install some software on PC that would recognize that device sent data to print via LPT, and redirect it to USB port to the printer. Computer itself would print via USB as well.
Problem:
Finding the software or hardware with above mentioned characteristics.
Thank you in advance,
