After some Windows 98 update my printer did not work.
I checked he system infromation all the COMM pportas are
there but the LP1 port is missing.
Whne I try to install a new printer, the Wizared does not
give me the Parallel Port as an option.
Any sugestions? Looksl like at Start Up the Parallel Port
is not detected and no software is loaded.
Regards,
Holger
