Jun 01, 2017 Unlike some less-expensive adapters, this one has a small circuit board in the parallel connector that properly converts serial (USB) to parallel ('Centronics') and vice versa. I'm setting up a newer PC for my wife, and unlike the old desktop machine, this small-format new one doesn't have a parallel port and no easy way to install one.
I have a GIF12 Card reader & software that connects to a computer via LPT1 port. I want to connect the card reader via a USB port. I need the computer to see the USB port as LPT1.

What you need is a USB to Parallel port adapter. Some adapters have a Centronics 36-pin plug, others have a DB25 plug on the end. Make sure you get one that your card reader will plug into, and make sure it is bi-directional.
Most USB to parallel adapters are designed to send data to printers. As you want to read data from the card reader, you'll need to make sure the one you get is bi-directional. Here are some examples. Note that I have not tried any of them:
You'll need to keep your fingers crossed and hope it will work. If at all possible, I would install a PCI parallel port card in the PC (not possible with laptops, of course).

Do you have an old printer, scanner or other peripheral device that can't connect directly to your new computer? Now you can, using an easy-to-use, easy-to-connect parallel-to-USB connector cable. Most newer computers do not come with parallel ports and connections anymore. They have instead resorted to USB 2.0 connections. USB offers faster and more efficient transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps, making them ideal for computer device communication.
Step 1
Connect the parallel end of the connector cable to the parallel port on your printer, scanner or other parallel peripheral device.

Step 2
Plug the USB end of the connector cable to an open USB port on your computer, then turn on your device. Your computer will automatically detect the device as a new hardware.
Step 3
Insert the installation disc for your device into the CD-ROM drive, then follow the instructions to install your device drivers. This may vary depending on the device connected. If you do not have an installation CD, check your manufacturer's website for driver downloads.
Perform a test print, scan or function with your device to make sure that the connection is secure and the drivers are properly installed.
