Virtual COM Port

[manudo]

Does /dev/ttyUSB0 or something similar appear when you plug in the printer via USB? If so, try connecting to that device as if it were a serial port.

No, I configured the printer to Virtual COM mode and nothing happens, no ttyUSB0 file. It's curious because when I connect the printer in USB mode it creates a folder called "usb" when I plug the printer to the PC.

This old thread seems to successfully cover a lot of this territory: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335098

Dude, that's awesome, that's exactly I want to do, a serial port to be recognized as a COM1 port in Wine, really thank you.

But you guys can help me with the ttyUSB0 problem? It doesn't appears. D:

---Just to make things clear, that printer has the option to emulate a serial port with a USB cable, I use that cable, not a Serial-USB adapter, just in case.---

When you have the printer set to emulate a serial connection, which device shows up in /dev when you plug it in? Try connecting to that one.

Here's the list of files in /dev when it's nothing connected.

No difference.

And here's a screenshot when I connect it with USB normal mode, see that it creates a directory called usb/ and when I cd to it has a lp0 file. The printer works this way, even when I send an echo to /dev/usb/lp0.

I have to create a ttyUSB0 file?

[manudo]

Well, problem solved, I just connected it in USB mode and did this.

sudo ln -s /dev/usb/lp0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

Links the printer to that port, and if I do an echo works. Thanks.
