this should. The driver is included in Vista.
What kind of machine do you have that can accept a parallel card but does not have a parallel port already? If you already have a parallel port and are adding another port so you can access multiple devices, stick to a basic card that just has the one port. The spooler will only access LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I have a 16-bit ISA dual parallel port card. I have a Dell Inspiron 518
computer with a Core-2 processor that I purchased recently and plan to connect to the printer. I haven't looked inside the computer yet to see if it can accomodate the card.

You will possibly also need a Vista driver for the parallel port card.
While I haven't installed a Parallel port card in Vista, I have in XP and needed a driver from the card's manufacturer. Go to the card manufacturer's web site and see if one is available. (If you don't find one for Vista, see if one is available for XP. That will indicate whether a driver may be needed and if there isn't one for Vista, the card may not be supported.)

I know old school is good sometimes but you will need to get a new parallel
card. ISA is pretty much gone.

Alan,
I opened the PC and examined the innards. It has a open card slot with about 100 or more pins. Do you know what type of card an Intel Core2 Quad 6600 PC would use since it's now obvious it's not an ISA card?

Alan,
Just writing to inform you that I found the IBM 4019 Laser Printer driver in Windows Vista and installed it. I purchased a PCI Express parallel port card and installed it in the PC by following the prompts. The printer may be ancient by PC standards but it works great.
