Hi All,

I am new to this so bare with me. I have seen adapters that allow you to connect a usb device and it will create a virtual serial device.

Do you know if there is a device that allow me to connected a usb cable to a computer and usb printer but also have a serial connection at the same time? So whatever text print job got sent to the usb printer can also get sent to the com/serial port and then to somewhere else?

Thanks so much!

What do you mean by virtual serial device? Not sure I get this one.

I'm pretty sure he means like one of those virtual serial port HID drivers. Where the OS thinks the USB devices is actually a serial device with a comm port.
