Windows 10: Can I use USB for LPT1?

Hi. I have downloaded and installed my printer driver--but I think I chose the wrong port. How do I choose? Does my USB function as LPT1? Thanks!

problem with scanner on LPt1

i am having problems trying to run a plustek opticpro a3i scanner on lpt1.it did not work. I have got a usb to lpt1 and it does not allow me to to load the software or even change the compatability. the scanner software is for win 95. I have used this with
windows up to and including xp. will you please advise if i can take any further action.

 

Asus P5QSE2 and LPT1

I just purchased the board and I need an LPT1 for an older HP 4000 laser printer .
Board does not have an LPT1 so I bought a PCI e card that has a parallel port and 2 COM ports.
Problem I have is ... HP printer can't be seen by the device manager.
What do I have to do in order to use my HP. I do not have a network card installed in the printer and I can't buy one.... price and age of printer.

Any advice?

Thank you very much for your time.

Michael
