Hi Guys,
I am trying to get my older brother laser printer to work. I manually installed the drivers for it through my Windows XPHome, It is now listed in my printers list folder. I reset it and printed a test page from the machine itself. Now when I try to print a page, it won't print. The little icon in my system tray comes on for a couple seconds then goes out, just like it does for my other USB printer. Does XP know if the LPT1 printer is unplugged, like a USB printer. I am trying to figure out if it is the wire or the IRQ settings in my BIOS. I tried all the IRQ settings to no avail.
Thanks in advance.
