Re: Printers are showing ports NE00, nothing prints out

Only certain programs use port names NE00, NE01, NE02, NE03, etc... I have
seen older versions of Microsoft Word do that. I think it is making a
temporary port that is redirected to a network printer instead of just using
the network printer directly. Of course, it's not even a network printer
from what you describe. I would test it with a program that doesn't do that.
Does a Test Page print correctly? Is Notepad able to print correctly?
Does your printer show up in the Device Manager? I think it would be in the
properties of the USB controller to which it is attached, where it lists
attached devices.
Did it ever work? If so, what changed?

This is on a desktop that is running Windows XP Home, all my printers are
showing that they are connected to usb ports. When it comes time to print,
they are listed and printing to NE00, NE01, NE02, NE03 etc. ports. Nothing
gets printed! I'm getting so desperate, that I am reduced to plugging in a
small printer in the front usb port so that I can print tips or
instructions,
then unplugging it. I'm afraid that soon that port will be turned to
something I can't access. I'm not sure when this began but it has affected
my
programs that I print items through. Please help, I'm at a loss!
