LaserCutter Spirit GE - Can't find USB001 port.

[Sam_Brown]

Morning Guys,

 

We have a Laser Cutter Spirit GE. For the last few years it's been used by a Windows XP x86 box but unfortunately that has finally died!

 

We've replaced the workstation with a Windows 7 x64 however are having issues installing the printer and getting the computer to talk to it.

 

I have some x64 drivers for it and have installed them. The printer object is using the COM1 Serial Port.

 

A "USB PRINTER" device is also showing on the Device and Printers. According the to installation guides I need to change the printer object to use USB001 Virtual USB Device Port which will connect the Printer Object to the "USB PRINTER" however I don't have the option of using a USB001 Virtual USB Port.

 

Any ideas on how I can create one and if anyone else has ever had a similar situation?

 

Thanks in advance,
