StarTech 1-Port Parallel PCIe Card, DB25

Add a DB25 parallel port to a PCI Express system and keep legacy peripherals in service without replacing proven equipment. This StarTech PCIe card is built for environments that still depend on printers, scanners, and plotters using parallel communication, and it supports SPP, Byte, Nibble, and ECP modes for broad device compatibility. The card uses an ASIX AX99100 controller and supports IEEE 1284 operation up to 2.5 Mbps, giving IT teams a practical way to extend the life of specialized hardware. It ships with brackets for full or low profile installation, so it can fit both standard towers and compact systems with the right chassis clearance. For organizations managing production devices, lab instruments, or older output hardware, this is a targeted expansion card that solves a real compatibility problem. It avoids the cost and disruption of replacing equipment that still performs well, while keeping the system-side connection modern and manageable. Windows and Linux support make it easier to deploy across mixed desktop fleets.
