Signlab 9.1 and Roland GX-500

[aplusigns]

Hi All. New member and first time poster. I use Signlab 9.1 and have just connected a Roland GX-500 cutter, While it cuts fine via direct USB port, It wont recognise jobs sent via the print spooler. The spooler sends the job out to the cutter, but the cutter wont recognise it. I tried connecting via a parallel cable, slowing down the baud rate, but no luck. PC is Windows 10 Pro. Have installed updated win10 drivers from Roland. TIA.

Well, I have an old CX24 that belongs to a friend here, I wanted to install through Signlab to verify that the cutter works.
So, I've just done it. And it worked.

I used a USB to Parallel adapter as I don't have an LPT port on the computer.
Windows (7) set up the cable driver. I installed the cutter in Signlab and selected the port as USB001+ (unknown printer).
Set it to cut via VPM. Everything worked fine.

Thanks Timotyen. I'll give that a try and see how it goes.
