Parallel port loopback

[normz]

Hello,

I need to test a parallel port.

I have a parallel loopback device already.

but How exactly do I run the loopback test??


All I can find online are diagrams of how to make the loopback device not how to use it.


Thanks!

You need software like BurnInTest to be able to test it. Also, you can look for other programs from this site, as well... http://wareseeker.com/free-parallel-port-external-loopback-software-test/

do any other programs exist that you know of? I want 2nd opinion on the results

To do a PROPER loopback test, you need a loopback dongle, and software to perform the loopback test.

You use a loopback plug WITH the BurnInTest software to test all lines and functions of the parallel port.
