Ok, this is more of a hmmmmmm moment that actually have a absolute gotta
do it, I am up against the wall need.  So please humor me a bit.

If I a (x) panel that had a parallel printer module available and wanted
to actually connect a parallel printer to get a history report printed
out on site.  AND as I am sure most of you guys know, finding a parallel
printer these day is for sure gonna be a used, maybe it work work, eBay
purchase if you are lucky.

Soooooooooo is there an adapter that will work between the panel printer
module and a USB, Ethernet, Wireless type of printer??

And yes, there are USB to Parallel adapters but, that is to go from a
USB port >>> TO >>> the older Parallel Printer.  BUT, I doubt it will
work in the opposite direction.  Or will it??

Has anyone done this or attempted to do it??

Oh, Mfg. Tech Support says that they have not tested any or will they
approve or sanction anything other than direct connection to a "Parallel
Printer".

Thanks for any thoughts!!

Les  check with some old retailers who use to use the outboard credit card
printers.  best I remember  they were thermal type parallel printers.. also
some office machine repair shops..    unless you need some odd driver
interface  they should work..
