Win 2000 Pro Printing Nightmare

I currently run a small visual basic program on a stand alone pc running 2000 pro.
It is hooked via parallel to a stand alone laser printer. i went to print something
the other day and out came spitting giberish, lots of printer control and detail
information. I have looked everywhere and have gotten various suggestions that have
turned out to be useless. I have removed the driver with the printer d/c. I even
removed the driver from the registry. When I go to reinstall the driver the machine
says it is still there and wants to know if I want to replace it? I have hooked
up a couple of different printers to the pc and they are not auto detected. In fact,
what comes up offers me choices as to what has been detected ... no printers. No
matter what I do gibberish now spits out of the printer. It is not program specific
as any program, word, etc. will produce the same results. Do you have any idea what
might be going on? One person from MSFT said it might be a LP1 mapping problem and
that I can run net use from the run menu but it only brings a screen us for
seconds and I cannot read it! I have turned the spooler off and on with no luck.
If you have any ideas, or anyone I can talk to that is knowledgeable about printer
issues with 2000 Pro I would greatly appreciate it.
