Re: LCD connecting to a Serial port
This LCD (datasheet at http://www.trulydisplays.com/monochrome ... 20Spec.pdf ) is a graphic LCD, which Smartie doesn't support. Smartie is designed for text/character displays only.
You might be able to get it to work with other software like Smartie, but I don't think it can be connected via the LPT port as it requires a lot of control/data pins.

Thnx,
Despite that this was not the answer i was hoping for, but i know now that there is no point to keep trying to get something out of it.

Yeah, sorry we can't help 
I've never tried any other software... however, I think LCDStudio and LCDHype support graphic LCD so you may have more luck with those (and maybe other software)...
