Forward info on COM1 to USB

Post by MadFrog »

Hi, Guys.
I got a USB printer but the software we are using prints to COM port. Is there a way of forwarding the data that is sent to COM1 to the USB printer?
Thanks

Ummm... Yes, Monty. I have tried googling the problem. I've tried different phrases as well. That is why I resorted to asking on the forum. But thanks anyway.

Did you have a look at the first link google threw up? Because it is software that makes a usb device appear as a com device....
