[OPLINTECH] ISO: USB adapters with LPT1 based Epson TM receipt printers

[Ed via OPLINTECH]

Epson makes cards for their printers that accept a USB cable. You take 
out the parallel port card in the printer and put in the USB card. I 
have converted some of our parallel port epson TM T88III and TM T88IV 
printers to USB printers this way. You will have check with a vendor to 
find out which card you will need for your model printer. The one for 
the 88III was different than one for the 88IV.

I don't know if this would be your least expensive option, but it will 
for sure work with the epson advance printer driver without the need of 
a 3rd party USB to Parallel port driver or adapter.

I hope this helps!
