Printers are the only type of parallel port devices supported by the Acceleport USB products. Printers with Windows drivers on the Windows 95/98 CD ROM are practically guaranteed to work just fine, but those drivers may be missing many features included with drivers shipped with the printers. The working drivers are available in the \drivers\printers\ directory on the Windows 95/98 CD ROM. Most of the drivers shipped with the printers, however, have extended functionality and insist on only talking directly to the chips on the motherboard, so they will not work with any device such as ours. This is why Epson, for example, ships a different driver package with their own USB-Parallel adapter cable.

If you run into any trouble using any kind of device (especially parallel devices) under '98, make sure you're running the latest driver, written specifically for '98 if possible. If you are still having problems, it could be the vendor's driver will simply not support non-standard printer ports.
