Here is a screen capture of the ATENs Properties, and it can be clearly seen that there are several fields marked with 'unavailable'. As can be seen below Windows is showing the device as 'Unspecified', and in my experience this is 'rarely a good thing'!


At the moment I suspect that there may be an issue with the ATEN cable / adapter. Even though I have set the installed printer to use the Port outlined above I am getting printing errors. Finally I have configured the Port for the Virtual Printer with the EPSON software as shown below. In Windows 7 I am confident that I have installed the correct EPSON printer, and additionally I have installed the EPSON Virtual Printer Driver. Towards this end I have purchased and installed an ATEN UC-1284B USB to Parallel cable / converter. I am attempting to connect an EPSON TM-T88IIIP printer (which features a Parallel port) to a POS machine that only features USB ports.
