No it wasn't. I figured it out, but I still can not get my printer switch
to
work. I think it may be that the manual switch does not like my laser
printer. I heve turned off bi-directional printing due to the fact that
the
switch does not support it. When I select the printer and choose to print
from notepad or word it warms up as usual, but doesn't ever start, and
then
the other printer on the switch starts printing off garbage.

Description:
The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because

I don't know how to start this service. I know it is parport.sys that

not
running, but I do not know how to start this. If anyone can please help
I
would be very appreciative.

Thank you
