## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WORKS IN DOS WITH A 26-YEAR-OLD DOT MATRIX PRINTER
*by R***N on April 29, 2014*

I had to get an old Epson LQ-950 impact printer (which I use at work for printing continuous forms) working in NewViews, an even older DOS-based accounting program, under 32-bit Windows 7. My new computer had a parallel port pin set on the motherboard but while it was recognized by Windows Device Manager, it wouldn't print in DOS. For a long time I fiddled unsuccessfully with all sorts of settings in Windows and the BIOS, then bought the StarTech PEX1PLP adapter card from Amazon. At this point I wasn't too hopeful that it would work either, but installation was easy: I disconnected the existing parallel port connector from the motherboard, reset the port configuration to its defaults in the BIOS, disabled that port in Device Manager and installed the StarTech card (I had to use the supplied longer bracket). Windows recognized the card and searched for but couldn't find a driver. I pointed it to the driver on the StarTech disk and Windows installed it. The StarTech driver sets the port to LPT3 by default and I needed LPT1 but it's an easy thing to change in Device Manager. The LQ-950 now prints from NewViews just as it has since 1988 (in DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, 98 and XP) when I bought it. Thanks, StarTech.Incidentally, the user's guide for this card is rather skimpy. It's not at all clear on which driver to use during installation. I found it by noticing in the card's Spec Sheet (available at StarTech's web site) that the Chipset ID is “PLX/Oxford – OXPCIe952” and that there's a “OXPCIe952” folder on the driver disk. The correct path to the driver then (at least on the disk that came with my card) is “PCIe\OXPCIe952\parallel\pport.inf”.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job, but you have to go online for windows 10
*by S***A on December 24, 2019*

Got the product and installed it to the mother board. Lucky I had an old computer around I could scrounge a screw off of to hold the bracket, cuz they didn't include one, although that would have been nice. Windows 10 didn't know how to drive it until my boy got online and found the appropriate driver on Startech's site. Upshot is, I had an old printer with a parallel port cord I couldn't use, but now I can, so hooray!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Add a physical parallel port to a low profile PC
*by B***R on September 12, 2011*

This card should work with any parallel style printer or device. I purchased it for a specific need to use with a Zebra thermal transfer printer. The Zebra and many other devices do not work with the USB parallel adapters because they do not truely emulate a LPT port. The USB adapters show up in Windows 7 as USB0001 port instead of a good old LPT1 port. Note the LPT number is configurable in Windows. This card fits the low profile PCI Express slots in the Dell Optiplex 790 small form factor models. It also includes a full height bracket so that it can be used in a mini-tower or other model with full size slots.The bottom line is this will add a REAL LPT port to any modern PC with a PCI Express slot that will be compatible with any LPT or parallel device that works with your version of Windows.
