I have a Sony VGNA290 notebook(17 inch), running XP Home SP2 attached
to the docking station. When I try to print a test page, it gets an
error and won't print. I tried different parralell cable and it still
won't work. I can print to another networked printer but not to my
local printer. The printer is a HP 970 Deskjet.
Also when I boot up the machine, the printer seems to be talking to the
notebook. It does the initial boot sequence.
I haven't found anything in google, sony or msdn that would point to
the problem.

My 970 has a USB port. Have you tried that?
