Hello,
The printer was not detected a boot-up.
I deleted the driver (Control Panel->Printers and Faxes->Delete Printer).
Bought a brand new printer (parallel) cable. Entered BIOS, the LPT port had
the following choices: Output-Only, Bi-Directional, EPP, and ECP. I chose
Bi-Directional. Plug & Play OS was set to Yes. Booted up Windows XP.
Printer was not detected. I was never prompted to enter anything concerning
the printer
Windows XP is running on a DELL Dimension XPS T500.
Any other ideas?
