Parallel Printer Tap?

[Jeff Caspari]

Hi Group,

Does anyone know of a device that allows you to tap into a parallel printer
line and receive the same data into a serial port, while letting it still
print to the parallel printer?

B&B Electronics does have printer taps and parallel to serial converters but
the setup would be extremely clumsy.

I'm guessing there must be a "box" out there that just fits into the line
and then "tees" off to a serial port.

TIA,
Jeff

John,
With help, I was able to locate a device that seems to fit the bill. I have
spoken with the owner and it looks like what I need.

Thank you,
