Printing Alarms On LPT

[zalmay]

My client have purchased DEll T100 System.Unfortunately

This System Does not have any Parallel Port (LPT1).

I want to connect my EPSONLQ 300 Printer with Dell T100.

Printer Connection Via USB Port is not applicable for me

because I am Printing Alarm From Labview, NI Distributed System

MAnager , which Prints Alarms Only on Parallel or Serial Port

I googled for this Problem and

Net USE LPT1 \\COmputer_NAME\Share_Printer_name /Persistent:Yes

does not solve the Problems.

NI DIstributed System Manager Record following Error
Failed to open session to the Device LPT1:
NI VISA Error Code: -1073807343

Kindly help me, How to Emulate LPT1 Port on DELL T100 System or

How can I associate LPT1 with the USB port.

Regards

Hello Zalmay,

Is it possible to print the alarm information to another printer type; such as, a PDF printer on the PC or a network printer?

Also, you may have a more direct method of printing alarm data per the instruction linked below:

Printing Alarms and Events (DSC Module)

Would it also be possible to post a screenshot of the process you are employing to print the alarm information?

Please post any additional questions or follow up information.

Thanks,

Is buying an LPT expansion card to install into the motherboard not an option?
