I've been having a problem printing from the parallel port on my laptop with
xp pro - it worked fine for a while, then stopped. It happens with 3
different printers, and I also changed the printer cable. I took all the
steps outlined in other posts, including deleting printer, uninstalling port
and changing BIOS settings
Now I just did it all again, and tried the automatic driver check on the HP
website - with my HP laserjet 1100. It detcts the printer on lpt1 and says I
have the wrong driver (XP had installed it after I re- attached it after I
uninstalled it).
It downloads the new driver and tries to install, but I get a message that
"The installation process may have encountered an error."
Help! I am going nuts with this problem It seems like I ought to be able
to print with a perfectly good printer. I am ready to go back to my old
computer.
