Re: Printer Connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I did exactly that (I just didn't want to complicate my message). I
installed a PCI card (parallel port) last night and I can't get my printer
to print through it. So far, Dell has not been able to solve my problem and
they keep telling me it's HP's problem. Well, it isn't; I've installed that
printer on every system I've had since 1992 and it's ALWAYS worked great.
So I think I must not have installed the port correctly (although my device
manager says everything is working fine). So I have three options: 1) keep
tearing my hair out to get the new PCI card to work; 2) buy a parallel port
to usb cable; or 3) send the Dell computer back and start over again. Now
you know way more than you wanted to. If anybody has any more light to shed
on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeannine
