After upgrading from WinMe to WinXP Home, I cannot print from LPT1 to my
Laserjet 4P from Word or Notepad. Unplugged cable from home pc and
plugged into my WinXP Pro, works fine. Don't see any bent pins.
Compared drivers on laptop and home PC; same. Selecting 'Configure
Port' brings up Timeout Value of 90 seconds; leaving that screen gives
me 'Port Error' message. Any guidance on how to troubleshoot this
would be appreciated.
