USB->LPT

[SwietY]

I' looking for converter from standard USB to LPT maybe can you help me
with it. Which component should I use and maybe schetaticdesign in Protel.

I've got one that is built into the Centronics type connector and plugs
right
into the back of the printer. Then just plug in a USB cable. Bought it
at Best Buy I think.

I have a D-link DSB-P36 that works well.

I know that I can buy it but I have to make it myself because I have project
to do that converter

See http://www.ftdichip.com/DS245B.htm for a usb<->parallel interface
chip. That company makes a few USB interface products.

Look for the PIC demo/development kit that incorporates USB...

Then buy one, reverse engineer it and repackage it.

Give yourself extra credit for snowing the teacher. ;-)

Good Luck!

Why would you want to make one when you can buy one for a mere pittance?
Try doing a google search for USB parallel converter or port replicator.

And _please_ post to the appropriate newsgroup,
comp.sys.ibm.pc.whatever, maybe periphs or printers.
