Printer connection to NI 8176 Embedded Controller

I do not have a printer with a USB connector or a cable that can connect a HP printer such Laserjet 4 with parallel port of NI 8176. Please suggest any solution.

It sounds like your question is (correct me if I'm wrong) that you are trying to connect your standard parallel port printer to the mini-parallel port of the 8176 controller. Since you do not have a USB printer you would like to know how to do this.

The easiest suggestion is to purchase a Parallel Port Adaptor Cable. The part number for this is included in the KnowledgeBase linked below:
