I'm new to the forum and in the use of CncLinux and I could not find the address of a USB to parallel cable I bought, the cable is the Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port, the cable creates a virtual port but not in to address this. I have made a $ lsusb in the terminal of Ubuntu and this is what shows me:
imike @ imike-lp: ~ $ lsusb

I have worked with parallel and serial ports but windows and both have an address where they are physical devices, eg in EMC2 estepconf wizard by default has the address 0x378 is the address of the parallel port of a PC but not how to get the same address PL2305 Parallel Port cable.
Could anyone help me?
Greetings.

So what would be the base address for the cable?

d I could not find the address of a USB to parallel cable I bought.
I don't think it will work. My understanding is that these devices make a parallel printer into a USB device externally, rather than create an internal parallel port interface for the USB socket.
You ought to be able to get a PCI parallel card working, or certain PC-card ones.

Well I guess I better change my PC, one with the parallel port attached to the motherboard.
Thanks for your answers and greetings.

The problem of getting a PCI card I have no space on the PC as a PC architecture is very small in size and processing power.

Which motherbaord is it? Some of the Mini-ITX boards have a parallel port built-in, but on a pin-header on the main board rather than the back panel.
The Intel D510MO (which is an excellent board for use with EMC2, and is about $75) has this arrangement, and it is possible that yours might be the same.
