Some older printers have trouble if they are on a parallel port and the port
is configured in the BIOS for EPP or ECP.

Try changing the settings in the computer's BIOS configuration to Standard
(or whatever your BIOS calls it).

Also, in Computer Management, Device Manager, check the Settings tab of the
Properties of the Printer Port. You may find that the printer works better
if you select a different radio button in the Filter Resource Method (e.g.
Never use an interrupt).

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
