And what hardware could to plug to this port? Dan 10-10-2007, 01:41 AM you do not use parallel ports anymore. KazeCloud 10-10-2007, 07:30 AM Those things are unheard of. They do not have those in up to date mobos. The Mob 10-12-2007, 12:38 AM ... those things are unheard of?? are you kidding me? LPT ports were used back in the day (like 3 years ago) to connect the printer/scanner to the computer. or course by today's standards, you would connect the printer via USB. i myself am still using LTP ports, mainly b/c i have an older printer. you do not need an LPT port if the printer you are using is connected to your computer via USB Dan 10-12-2007, 08:11 PM He ment they are unheard of because USB has completely taken over for them in the past 6-7 years, maybe even longer ago, not that he hasn't heard of them. |
