Missing Driver

Hi Folks,

Any help for this issue would be gratefully appreciated.

We are implementing a new machine for our Gerber Edge Vinyl printer and cutter, the old one was a Windows98SE machine using the Omega1.5.6 software and it kept freezing.

The new machine is a Dell Dimension E521 2GHz Processor 1Gb of DDR2 RAM, with Windows XP SP2 and we have the Omega2.1 software on it. We have had to put a PCI card in there with a Parallel and Serial Ports on it, which has had its drivers installed, uninstalled and then re-installed on numerous occasions.

When we install the software and run it we get to the GQmgr screen after trying to print, and it tells us that we are 'Missing Parallel device driver'. Under Device Manager there are no nasty 'Yellow triangles with Black !' in them, the cutter is on a serial port and is working fine.

There is a page on GSP Site which shows how to use a USB to serial cable in v2.1, but when we get to a certain point we cannot go on any further as the selection it asks us to make isn't there.

Hope someone can help and thanks.

Cheers,

SteffK

Hi replicator,

TY for this but it it didn't work, I got to the Warp9fix then the Parcheck, didn't return any open Ports, then check device mgr and found no reference to Par1284 so am unable to move this forward, any advice?

Cheers,

OK a bit of info I should have given you earlier, the gerber is running from a PCI Card, I found out recently that nobody has managed a work-round for this...Unless somebody here has
