My Windows XP Pro computer suddenly stopped recognizing my printer connected
to the parallel port. The printer maker (HP) suggests that I change a Port
setting in Setup. Normally, this means pressing F2 when the computer first
starts to go the Setup area.
However, I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Natural MultiMedia Keyboard with its
non-standard key assignments for the F keys.
How can I access the Setup section to make a change in the Port assignment?
Is it possible to defeat the non-standard F key assignments at a basic level
rather than using the F-Lock key after Windows XP is already running?
Thanks for your help.
