- If you have a (usually old) device that sends data
to a line printer, and you want to instead read the data into a
PC, you have a couple of options. One is to buy or make a parallel-to-serial
converter and read the data at a serial port, using a terminal emulator
or software you write. LPTCAP
is another approach, consisting of circuits and software for reading
the data into a PC's parallel port. FromKris Heidenstrom
