You need an FTDI chipset, most of the connection problems with plotters are caused by the other type. Once you have the right converter set it up as a virtual serial port & then treat setting up the plotter as you would if the laptop DID have a serial port., Thanks for the reply but we aren't using a converter just a direct USB link from the laptop to the cutter. The cutter was attached to a PC running XP. We want to attach it to a unit running Win 7, so assume it's just a Win 7 USB Driver for the Foison that we need. Hadn't thought of a USB / Serial converter so prhaps that's an alterative we could investigate bearing in mind your comments. You mentioned that the laptop had no serial port in your first post so I assumed that was how you had it connected to the PC, found this on another site cracked it!

Start Control Panel Hardware & Sound Add A Device Then follow on screen instructions for adding device making sure that device is turned on and connected to PC I know what you mean about XP & Windows 7. I had to replace a perfectly good Canon Scanner which would not work under Windows 7.

& this seems to be a download for the driver, says it is compatible with windows 7 both 32 & 64 bit versions.

If you cannot get your cutter working, check that you've followed these steps carefully. 1) Turn your cutter off, and plug it into a free USB port on your computer. The new hardware wizard should appear, or if you've already done this, it should go 'Bing Bong' 2) On the cutter, Keep hitting 'Menu' until you see the setting for 'Baud.'
