Hello, everybody.

I have the same problem.

As well as Preet i am using a PCI-based Parallel Port Card. I was able to connect a parallel printer to it (LPT1) and i was also able print with it.

So principially the parallel port is working fine.

In my mind the installation of the "Altera Byte Blaster" driver may be the basic problem. I followed the installation instructions on

http://www.altera.com/support/software/drivers/dri-index.html?gsa_pos=1&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=programming%20cable%20driver

but this didn't change something.

If anybody has an solution for the problem, i would really appreciate it.

Hi

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I have encountered the same problem

Anyone has VMware intsalled on the machine?

Hello.

Can you check, if the following services are running?

parport.sys

parvdm.sys

To do so, just type the following in the command line:

sc query parport

sc queryc parvdm

If both services are running, you can try the following:

Goto .....\program files\Altera\80\quartus\drivers\i386

and execute bblpt.exe with the option /i

This should install the driver.

Thats just the answer, I got from the support. In my case it did not solve the problem. If one of the services fail, you have a problem that is not related to Altera software, i think.

Kind regards,

Marc

I had problems installing ByteBlaster on my VMWare machine. Though I used Linux on my host as well as VMware machine, I was able to resolve the issue. I have reported my complete problem and solution here:

Good day readers

I have managed to get my ByteBlaster working

My LTP1 is native

In Device manager it showed 2 x paralel ports

LPT1 - ECP printer port

LPT3 - Unusable Port

I uninstalled LPT3

i Then did update driver on LPT1 and chose ECP printer port

in command line

sc start parvdm.sys

and bblpt.exe

restart computer

installed byteblster driver as per altera recommendation

reboot

and presto Bob's your Aunty
