Yes, LPT1 is checked when I look at the printer properties - ports tab.

When I got through the installation of the printer and have to chose a LPT port, the "users manual" of the new card shows that I should "select PCI ECP/EPP Port". I don't have that option. That's why I think I did not install things correctly.

BTW, I just talked with Dell again. They told me that even though they sold me the PCI card and told me at the time that someone would be able to help me install it, now I am told they do not support it and cannot help me. So, if I can't fix this thing myself (with somebody's help) in the next few days, I will have to return the machine. I am MOST disappointed in Dell.

Thanks, Jeannine



Two things. First, please check and post back whether or not
the parallel port is using IRQ 7 or if there is a conflict
involving this particular IRQ. This can be looked up in Device
Manager.

Second, also post in alt.sys.pc-clone.dell in USENET. There
are plenty of Dell users who might be able to tell you more
about setting up the card.
