Printer not recognised by XP (Home)

[Guest]

Hi
Have just installed Win XP and everything looks just fine. Except for that my printer HP 1220c will not be recognised when restarting the system. LPT1-connected, Going into Device Manager and reconfigure the port settings will activate the contact
But I must do so every time. Any suggestions

Thanks for your proffessional ideas

Did you ensure the LPT port was set to EPP in the BIOS configuration?

Thanks for your advice, I have changed the LPT port from ECP to EPP mode in the Bios and it works OK now.
Why is it like this, earlier I was running Win Me with the ECP configuration and it work fine? Nevertheless I am very pleased with the solution.

Why.... I'm not at all sure but I just know it does! Let's just be thankful
it works without getting into how the data flows through it!

I agree with you. All that matters is that it works.
Thanks!
