USBTiny to lpt Converter

Post by morteza_rk »

Hi @ll

you imagine that we have a printer that work with the lpt port , now we want to use from "USBTinyISP Converter" to connect it into the USB port , how ?

Do we need to specific software (surrending from com0com , USBTiny500 & AVRdude) ?

How to understand PC that must transfer the Data to USB port no lpt Port ?

How to install your printer on the your PC or laptop ?

The USBtinyISP is a AVR programmer, not a USB to Parallel converter.
You can buy such converters in nearly any computer store.

You will not get it working as a parallel port converter.
To get it working you'd need to write a custom driver.

Just go and buy one. Ebay has them for a couple of dollars.

Well, I think you won't get much help here, because problably most people never built a USBtiny as a lpt converter.
In this forum, is given help for those constructing and troubleshooting USBtinyISP, which is a adaptation of USBtiny.
You should seek information regarding USBtiny as a lpt converter in the original website. http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Edicks/avr/usbtiny/
And, as stated in the website, it is not a lpt converter. It is just a ISP programmer, wired to a parallel adaptor to use with this programmer. http://www.bsdhome.com/avrdude/
