The item description doesn't say linux support, so it's very unfair to give it a bad rating. But if any buyer is hoping it does support linux, be aware it does not***I was hoping this card would work to add a parallel port to a slightly newer PC that I would like to upgrade my linux cnc machine with. I knew I was taking a chance on driver/support.The driver CD contains linux drivers. There are many subfolders to hunt through, but if you look at the PCI card...the main chip says CH351Q. In the folder Driver/WCH/ I see a subfolder for CH35XDRV. Seems promising.In that folder you see DRV_1PA, DRV_1PB, DRV_2S1P..etc.,.... So guessing it's either DRV_1PA or 1PB (seem like they might refer to 1 parallel port)....you keep going down the rabbit hole and eventually get to Driver/WCH/CH35XDRV/DRV_1PA/LINUX/driver.Now I see...source code. OK. I have to build it myself. Fine. There is a Makefile.Problem #1, Makefile only supports up to kernel version 3.x. I hack the Makefile to get it to build for my 4.x kernel. Then there are compile errors because something in the tty mutex mechanism has changed in the later kernels. Any mutex_lock/unlock of termios_mutex needs to be changed to down_write/up_write of termios_rwsem. This works, and the code now builds and make objects. Yeah!Do a make install and modprobe wch to load the driver. After all that...now I have 2 serial ports showing up off the PCI BUS!!!! The card has 2 locations for headers that are probably capable of being serial ports (unpopulated)...but that's not what I bought the stinking thing for!So for all my trouble, I have now 2 serial ports in my PC, which I don't want and can't use.*sigh*. It seems like almost everything is there...if they just had the driver support the parallel port I'd be all set. As it stands...I might as well throw it in the trash.I'll have to try another one from a different vendor and see if I have better luck. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compatible with an older PCI win XP PC *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on 1 June 2023* Competitively priced, next day delivery. Restored LPT function. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works With Mach 3 *by W***D on Reviewed in the United States on 17 September 2021* This card goes in easy, has the slim line and full size plates for different 'tower’ sizes and there is a driver disk.As others have stated, you’ll need to go into your hardware settings and find the IO address. Once you’ve got that added into your #1 port address block, you’re good to go.This card puts out a solid 5v so no issues there. I used a recent .XML file to transfer my settings to the ‘new’ computer I purchased, used a multi meter to test my output signals (that’s how I know it’s definitely 5v) to be sure Mach 3 is talking to the parallel port card correctly. I then took it out to my burn table and plugged it in. It worked straight away, which never happens!!If you’re looking for a parallel port card to use with Mach 3 and your 32bit operating system (I’m using Windows 7 pro), this is it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/259755226-godsharkpci-to-db25-lpt-parallel-port-expansion-card-with-low](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/259755226-godsharkpci-to-db25-lpt-parallel-port-expansion-card-with-low) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
