While we use the TM-T88IV, ours are also Ethernet or USB.  However, we 
have other printers using USB to Parallel adapters under Win7. In those 
cases, to get the drivers working correctly, we've needed to create a 
Windows share for the printer and capture the LPT port via a "net use" 
statement.
    e.g.  net use LPT1: \\<computer-name>\<printer-name> /PERSISTENT:YES

Then set the printer up to use the "DOS LPT1" print strategy.
