Product: ProDesk 600 G1 Small Form Fact
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

My company purchased three HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF desktop computers recently, upgrading from three Optiplex 380s. The office uses an older, networked dot matrix printer. Some of the software that prints to this printer requires a Parallel Port driver assigned to LPT1, and the ProDesk 600 G1 does not come with a Parallel Port built-in (it has a spot on the motherboard where one can be added, judging from the motherboard layouts I have found online for this product). I need to purchase expansion cards that will work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and can be added to the hardware on this desktop computer. I just need to know which Parallel Port card to buy. I find the HP support site rather complicated and could not find a place where I could investigate what parallel port expansion cards would work with this desktop. All help is appreciated.

@potterjazz, welcome to the forum.

 

I spoke to a Tech at StarTech.com and he provided this adapter card that should work for you.  It has a low-profile mounting bracket.  StarTech makes excellent products.  If you have questions, you can speak with at Tech using their Chat Live option.
