Unable to Add Local Printer in WinNT

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.print (More info?)

Hello,

When I try to add a new printer using Add Printer Wizard,
the "My Computer" option is greyed out, leaving only
the "Network Printer Server" option available. I am
logged in as an Administrator. Please help.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. In response to your questions:

>What OS version are you using?
I'm currently using WinNT 4.00.1381

>Can you install printer drivers or ports?
I have not tried installing directly from any Driver CD.
But I am actually interested to add a "Generic/Text Only"
Printer.

B.R.,
Bong

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
