More info?)
I have setup many printers for offices and there is one
office I will never forget. If someone else has setup the
computer make sure they have installed and configured the
computer properly. Something I took for granted. If you
can look inside the computer to see if the printer port is
actually attached the motherboard. 2nd make sure the bios
of the motherboard has the priter port turned on (enabled)
then try reinstalling the software.
GOOD LUCK
