Update on my printer situation. Okay, I found the self-test documentation on the printer and ran it twice, with no problem. So, I guess it is not the printer. I also went to device manager, and the printer shows as installed with no yellow question mark, except that in the device manager is shows up asECP Printer Port (LP1). What I do not understand is why when I delete the driver and try to reinstall a new driver, it says that the driver still exists and asks me if I want to replace it? Also, the fact that I can plug any new device into the USB port and it will not auto detect the device. For example, I plugged in a newer printer and it brought up various options of something detected, none related to a printer??? Seems as though there is a OS problem with respect to how the LPT port is communicating??? Any further help would be appreciated as I am stumped. Thanks everyone.
