The printer port (Centronics) is parallel communication and you'll need a converter. The ones in my Black Box catalog (www.blackbox.com) are not cheap - ~U$100. Cheaper to buy another serial port card for the computer. You'd then have the problem of how to communicate with the parallel port. Version 3.1 is extremely old. With a newer LabVIEW version you'd have more options.
