I have an old analyzer that has a db25 parallel spp port. It had an old parallel printer connected to it. Is there away that i can make this printer port work with newer printers sense i can not find a spp printer or is there an interface i can use. There is no operating system running on it so i can't run drivers (program in eprom). Factory is no help sense they do not support this unit anymore and of course they want you to buy a newer unit. This one still runs great. Just need a printer. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Jim.


 
Actually many newer printers will still fall back and use the SPP ports, they just aren't very fast.

Or you can just go get an old printer :)
