Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and com ports
I have a customer that I built a new pc for running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. He dose vinyl work and his vinyl printer was made to run on Xp. every thing installed perfectly but it has to communicate with the Pc via LPT port. If you look at the com ports it says it is there but the Pc and printer do not see each other in the program there for will not communicate. I know com ports are an old technology but I was wondering is there something you need to do in windows 7 to get com ports to work like flipping a switch in code etc. everything is there and working except for the two communicating so it has to be something small and stupid that I'm missing. Any help would be great thanks.
