usb to parallel port

[bob at midcityoffice.com]

Thanks Bill,
 
That worked just fine. I knew I had to use "WIN", but I was trying WIN:usb001\Okidata ML 390, instead of the correct form WIN:Okidata ML 390

Hi
 
fp5.0, windows xp
 
I recently had to replace my PC. The new unit does not have a parallel port so I got a USB to Parallel Port adapted to connect my new PC to my old Okidata 390 Turbo.
I added the printer, and the test page printed correctly. Then I tested printing from a word document and that printed correctly. When I try printing from FilePro nothing worked.
 
In Printer Maintenance
 
Before:    This Worked
print_it    ◄OKIML182◄PRN
 
Now:

print_it    ◄OKIML182◄USB001
 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
