My mobo is asus M5A88-M
and it shows a ECP printer port (LPT1), but I can't find a port for plugging my scanner (canon cano scan n640p ex )in to that(25 pin ).so I bought an usb to parallel port cable from here but I think it only works for printers not for scanners, since it didn't detected my scanner, as I was using canons software canocraft cs p 3.8 which I installed in the windows xp mode to check the scanner since canon doesn't provide windows 7 x64 driver(mine in 7 x64) so I used the xp mode. I think the software will only detect the parallel port, not sure
So my question
1.)any alternatives to connect the scanner.
2.)I am now planning to buy a pci to parallel port card from here(here). will it work or
3.)Is there any option to create plug point as there is a port in my mobo?
Please help , I can give addtional details if you need.
os : windows 7 x64
processor : amd phenom II x4
