dear friend,
if the printer has an option for both the ports then connect it to the parallel port so that when you restart it would select by itself. Also what is the model of the printer.

by richard_barsby

Hi thankyou for your quick response but I have only tried it with the parallel port connected and windows says it cannot write to it, it works on other printers of the same model, on printing a test page it gives software version manufacture date and also says serial I/O 9600 Baud ruggedised XON and then ASCII character set

Best Regards

Useing the keys on the front of the printer:
Press ON LINE to take the printer offline (the light goes out).
Hold down MENU until the display says SYM SET=. Press MENU twice again until the display says I/O=SERIAL*.
Press + so the display says I/O=PARALLEL. Press ENTER to set to this value. A * will appear at the end of the line.
Press ON LINE and your ready to print.
