Roland Stika SX-12 12" Vinyl Cutter W7 Drivers

[Kamil]

Hello, our DT department is going through a bit of an upgrade, they are getting some new 3D printers and laser cutters which means that they had to upgrade from their Windows XP PC to a Windows 7 one. The problem is that they don't want to upgrade their old Vinyl cutter. I cannot for the life of me find any Windows 7 drivers online so thought someone on here might have found a hack to make it work

 

Thanks in advance and sorry if posted in the wrong area.

Looks like it's not supported.

I've seen some forum posts saying that it will work with the SV-12 driver, but I wouldn't recommend trying it.

I saw that too and tried it but with no luck. The printer uses old parallel connectors instead of USB, I have even tried a parallel to USB cable, also with no luck. So I guess I'm stuck.
