Security dongle on PCI Prallel card problem

Hello,

I just upgraded a client’s PC who is using and old type label printer running on a parallel port. Since the new PC did not have a parallel port- I added a PC card (WinXP). The ‘Device Manager’ tells me the card is working ok, I can change LPT port settings etc. But the label printing software does NOT recognise the Dongle – attached to the parallel cable.

Has anyone come across that problem?

PS.: I was informed by the label printing software support that a ‘parallel to USB adapter’ will result in bad print results.
