PCI Parallel EEP Driver for W7 - keane49 - 07-27-2015 Some time ago I purchased a Lava parallel PCI port card. I'm finally installing the port in an HP window 7 home premium 64 bit computer. My goal is to be able to use an older (legacy) 24 pin dot matrix wide carriage printer with this computer, but I can find no driver with the cd that came with it or on your website. I see adds for some from 3rd party venders, but there is much caution for them about malware etc. Do you have a driver for this item that will work with windows 7 64 bit. RE: PCI Parallel EEP Driver for W7 - LavaSupport - 07-27-2015 The drivers for all of our cards are located on our website and can be downloaded from the link below: Lava_2014_07_15.zip Let me know if you're having any issues with the installation of the card and I will do my best to assist. - Lava Support RE: PCI Parallel EEP Driver for W7 - keane49 - 07-27-2015 Thank you for your reply, but I still don't find the driver for your Parallel-PCI card. I downloaded the zip and see in the read-me that it says that Parallel PCI is supported for Win 7 64 bit, but I don't see a driver that says that or a set-up utility for the same. I'll admit I have very limited computer skills, but I thought there might be a " click here to set up the driver " and a driver clearly labled for the PCI running win 7 , NOT the PCI-E. RE: PCI Parallel EEP Driver for W7 - LavaSupport - 07-27-2015 Our card need to be detected by Windows device manager in order to be installed in the system, therefore there is no need for a "setup utility". Is the device currently listed in the Device Manager under "Ports (COM & LPT)"? Or do you have entries in the Device Manager with a yellow exclamation point? - LAVA Support RE: PCI Parallel EEP Driver for W7 - keane49 - 07-28-2015 In the devise Mgr under Devises it's listed as PCI Parallel Port and has a yellow ! When I click on that I get " PCI Bus 1 Devise 10 fuction 0 " DRIVER STATUS : " Drivers for this devise are not selected for this devise, to find driver click update driver " That sounds encouraging, but how will I know which driver to select? When I have the drivers downloaded will it automatically know which to use? RE: PCI Parallel EEP Driver for W7 - LavaSupport - 07-29-2015 By pointing the device manager to the root of the extracted drivers folder Windows will be able to match the correct driver to your card. Windows will only install a driver that has made a positive match, so you won't need to worry about that. - LAVA Support |
