Hi Casey, Thanks :-) Yes it is the HP 7200e...and to be honest with you, I love it!
It may be old, but when it works (as it does with 98) it does exactly what I need
it to do and that's why I haven't found the need to upgrade it. I'd prefer to get
rid of xp pro before the burner, lol...Anyway, I tried downloading the xp drivers
and after installing them that's when I came across the error in SCM PPort ADAPI
Adapter. I was told to change the parallel port to EPP. Wasn't sure how to do that
so I did some research and found that the only way to do it on my machine (compaq)
was to go into the system settings and change the setting minus the dma. I did that
and it still wasn't working. Then I tried removing my printer, un-installing it,
removing the SCM PPort ADAPI, drivers, disconnecting and reconnecting my burner.
That worked. When I turned my computer back, it found everything. I unzipped the
drivers to C:\WinXP_LPT_Driver as you mentioned and installed from there. I did manage
to get it working BUT my computer started acting up when I tried accessing my computer
or the control panel. The flashlight icon was searching for folders and the pc began
freezing up on me so I had to do a system restore to get it to function again. Something
was conflicting with it and I don't know what. Any suggestions as to what I should
try now? Thanks again for your reply :-)
