I just recently started a 3D modeling computer tech drawing class in my school. I use HP laptops and a software called KeyCreator. With this technology my students create 3D models of aircraft drawings on a college level. When they are done creating the parts on the laptop, they need to create a hard copy on one of the 6 CAD printers I have in my class. The problem my students have is that the CAD printers use a printer cable that is not on the laptops anymore. What they need is three cables that will go from a printer parallel connection to a USB connection from each of my CAD printers. The printers used by my students are still good to use. The cables will make the use of plug and play for the laptops to connect to the printers with great ease. With these cables my students will be able to print drawings with color detail parts of the airplane. The cables will help them be able to use a group of reliable printers and use the most modern laptops to create drawings on a college level. With the use of such cables my students will be able to produce highly accurate drawings with the printers that can create precise line accuracy and allow the technology to do the work. In an engineering program, these printers will be able to simplify complicated images and will allow for the immediate access and the printing of graphic files. Please help my students be able to get connected by getting such cables and allow them to make their aircraft drawings on a college level.
