I need to connect my printer to a PC on LPT1 with a parallel cable but what type do you recommend?

Frequently asked questions Lipi printers
This can vary depending on which model of Lipi printer you have. As a general rule you should use a good quality parallel (sometimes also called centronics) cable no longer than 2 meters in length. Some of our models do allow for a slightly longer length (please see printer user/operator manual). The reason for this is that the data coming along the parallel cable can lose it's signal strength the further it has to travel.

How can I connect an old Apple/Mac or old PC-type printer to my G3 or G4 or iMac (OS X) system ?

Herb's Mac Stuff FAQ
The very short answer is: you can't do this easily. There are problems between the USB-to-serial stuff; problems with printer drivers; and problems with OS X (or OS 9, etc) not knowing about either. The G3's, G4's and iMacs do not have the old Apple "DIN-8" connector (serial Localtalk) for modems and printers. These later Macs either use USB or Ethernet. Regarding the DIN-8 and Appletalk, see a related FAQ question for a description of that port. I don't describe Ethernet or USB.

What parallel cable do I need?

GAMEBOY-ADVANCE.net :: GBA ROM FAQ
You need a Male to Male straight-through cable which should ideally be under 2 meters to reduce the possibility of transfer errors. You can also use a Female to Male converter. Most shops will supply you with the cable if you buy a FA Linker SET. It is possible to fit more games on these cartridges. ROMS are rounded up to the nearest cartridge size i.e. 32M, 64M and 128M, this can be a waste of space as some games may only use half of this space i.e. 45M in a 64M cart.

Why Can LPT1 not be redirected to a network printer?

CapaInstaller - CapaSystems A/S
The problem can be solved in two ways. If you must use LPT1 then disable LPT1 in BIOS and redirect it afterwards. If possible it is easier to use another printer port such as LPT2 or LPT3.

What type of printer do you recommend?

CAPSOFT UK LIMITED-INTERACTIVE FORMS
We strongly recommend an HP Laserjet printer with over 24MB of RAM. One of the reasons for this is that most inkjet printers lack the ability to print an entire form, whereas laserjet printers allow for wide margins and can print on a greater percentage of the paper. This error is usually caused when the full forms pack has not finished downloading. Right click on the file and go to Properties. Look at the file size. It should be over 7MB.
