In a previous life Nagra recorders were my daily diet. The Lindos LA101/2 analysers were my go-to tools. Now I find myself servicing 'vintage' (as old as me) equipment and couldn't resist a LA102 on eBay. It has a serial RS232 output to printer for printing result data; figures, charts etc. At the time I had one of those lovely noisy Epson LQ dot matrix things but now they are hard to find.
How can I take the serial data out (Epson ESC/P) and offer it to a modern USB B printer?
Or even an older printer with parallel Centronics input?
OR, better still, bring the serial data into a PC into some kind of pretend printer, see it on screen, save or print it as a PDF? [this is the option I'm hoping may be answered here)
I know Lindos has this software ready-made but it's £300 and I don't need to use 90% of its features!
