Have no explanation. How's your parallel port set up in the BIOS? Fixed addresses, "auto" mode? Likewise, is the BIOS set for a Plug and Play OS? Sometimes changing them around might be all that's needed. My settings are YES there's a PnP OS installed, the parallel and serial ports have fixed addresses set for the traditional locations, and the parallel port is set to the highest set of features it has to choose from. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
