David (and anyone else who works with GSPort under Windows 10),

I could use some help.

The current upheaval in my work due to COVID-19 has caused me to
re-double my efforts to duplicate at home, on a functional level, my
main work computer, which is an Apple IIGS printing through a serial
port to a workhorse multi-binned HP LaserJet printer.

I hauled a spare LaserJet home and am happy to report that it works
wonderfully well with Windows 10 and Mac OS X through the ethernet
network and router.

But since I no longer keep a IIGS at home, I'm wanting to speak to the
LaserJet's built-in serial port from GSPort.

I've installed a Keyspan USA-19 (TI chip) USB-Serial adapter that Sean
Fahey had given me a few years ago, and it presents itself as a good
old-fashioned serial port named 'COM4'.

OK. Now for the question.

The GSPort docs state: "Emulated serial ports are individually
configurable as either IP or passthrough to real hardware ports".

For the life of me, I can't get GSPort to speak to COM4, and really
don't see anything in the F4 configuration screen that would allow me to
specify COM4 as the 'passthrough' real hardware port. The Keyspan allows
the COM4 port to be changed to other ports, but I haven't tried that yet.

Am I missing something obvious? I've read and re-read the docs, Googled
for an answer, engaged in trial-and-error, and am coming up dry.

Thanks.

Hugh Hood

PS - FWIW, yes, I do also use 'modern' computers at work, so I am not a
(total) crackpot. But the software systems I custom-developed for my
AppleWorks workflow years ago are quite slick and work exceptionally
well and quickly and are easily modified. So, I have no desire to adapt
them to a modern platform.
