Windows Client: XP / Vista / 7 / 8.x / 10 (X86/X64) • Windows Server. * ECP / EPP / SPP / BPP modes work under Windows, and Linux driver only supports SPP mode. Manual, Parallel LPT Port Read-Writer Register User Guide. Sep 18, 2014  Parallel port drivers are implemented to enable the functionality of communicating with printers and other devices that are connected to parallel ports. As suggested by Microsoft MVP & Community Moderator Ronnie Vernon Windows 7 does not include 64-bit Parallel port drivers. You might have to contact the device or the software manufacturer to get the parallel port drivers.

I have seen a number of similar posts on this subject. I have a Lenovo H330 desktop that had a number of serial COM ports. I upgraded to Windows 7 and they all vanished. I had made no changes to BIOS and have checked that there is no BIOS option that I could change that would disable COM ports. I checked that the LPT/COM ports were not hidden.

I tried adding COM's ports manual using the device manager, which seemed to work - but the COM ports did not work (CODE 10) as the addresses they wanted to use had already been assigned). I have tried deleting all USB entries - which was one of the suggestions made to one other Windows user who had reported this problem. Does anyone have any ideas on: (a) why the LPT/COM ports vanished after the Windows upgrade and (b) what I can do to get my COM ports working again?

I need the COM ports so I can use an old Elite flight simulator product, which scans for COM ports when it loads. Best regards Chris. Hi Chris, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I can imagine the inconvenience you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to fix the issue. • Are all the device drivers and Windows updates are updated? A Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations: • Device Manager can't start the device.

• One of the drivers that the device needs does not start. • Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver. Franson coordtrans crack. Note: In this situation, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message that indicates some kind of unspecified driver or device problem.

As you have mentioned that you are getting an error code 10 while adding COM's port manually then I would suggest you to try the steps provided in the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to fix the issue. If issue persists try to i nstall the latest drivers for your motherboard. See if this proves to be of any help. Device manufacturers often release updates to their drivers to enhance performance or fix compatibility issues. To get the latest driver, visit the support section of your motherboard manufacturer’s website. Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

Which bios depends on which model 530 you have. 'Tried to install printer, but there are no com ports or lpt port appearing in device manager.' Sounds like your printer is not a Dell Printer and therefore not supported here.

One reason for not seeing any SERIAL or PARALLEL ports is that the 530 DOES NOT HAVE ANY SUCH PORTS Physically on the system. USB Port Drivers for Printers would require XP Service pack3 since SP1 and SP2 are no longer supported by Microsoft. Y8.

I wouldn't have thought that reinstalling windows could remove these from the system, but that seems to be the case.
