freebird1963 11 Posted February 3, 2011 Okay I have never been able to get SB to work off my LPT1 port. I run signgo and works fine off LPT1 so its not a computer issue. Looking at the Signblazer cutter setup it doesn't appear to even see the port properly. I have attached two captures of the ports in SB. It shows my CUT-3000 and it shows our brother all in one on another computer but not LPT1 and does not have anyting listed for BLAZER LPT1 either. SO is there a print driver for the MH-721 for signblazer ? Thanks Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lueman 19 Posted February 3, 2011 Actually this has been blogged to death' sorry but the LP24 & SB in general dosen't have the drivers for LPT1 or a serial printer driver, If it did you could use it with any HPGL/HPDL compatible program. There is support for MAC's but nothing for PCs. trust me I've tryed for the last year and still nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lueman 19 Posted February 5, 2011 I'm not sure, but I think the MH uses the same driver disk (The Banana disk). In order to use LPT1 or LPT2... there has to be a driver that sets up a printer in control panel's Printer & Fax's folder. By the way just to be clear a serial printer has been out of date since about 1998-1999 back when ieee1384 standard was formalized. They figured USB was on it's way in and there was no reason to continue support. What we are talking about here is a Serial Printer "Emulator" which runs through the USB or Serial Port. My point is don't look for a 25 pin serial to parallel converter it wouldn't work we need a driver that supports the proprietary HPGL used by the LP24 or MH-721.
