    Parallel Port Loopback
    « on: January 21, 2011, 11:59:12 AM »
    Hello,

    I need to test a parallel port.

    I have a parallel loopback device already.

    but How exactly do I run the loopback test??


    All I can find online are diagrams of how to make the loopback device not how to use it.


    Thanks!

    The Professional version also has a number of additional features such as tape drive testing, USB port testing, USB 2.0 port testing, Serial and parallel port testing with the use of loop back plugs.

    This freeware below might work, but I havent tested it, just googled it

    Nice try but we got beat by Tom's hardware: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/285818-12-parallel-port-loopback

    He got his answer on the same day he posted. (I assume that's why no one else has posted a reply, that's my reason any way.)
