Hi,

Nice to hear that you solved your problem. But HOW did you solve it? Perhaps other people could this time take advantage of your experience, no?

Here is what I had to do with winxp to get it up and running.
1. set the parallel port in cmos to lpt1: and make sure it is in ECP mode.
2. Goto the device manager in system properties and then go the properties page of the lpt1 port. Go to the port settings tab and choose the option to use any Interrupt.
3. Once those were set, the parallel port was recognised and worked great.

Hope this helps others

okay, so I have tried going into device manager and setting the "any interupt" option. My problem is that as soon as I okay the device manager window the whole computer freezes - I cannot even get back to task manager. My only option is a hard reset. What can be wrong?
