My printer says' "its disconnected" and I cant get it back "online" Have tried to install it over and over but the it gives me the same msg.It works properly until this msg showed up.LPT1 is working and the drivers is the latest.How to get it back ?
I can see this has been an issue here before and I dont know if he's solved the problem. My printer (msg above) is connected to LPT1 port,and the resy is the same problems that this man has. Any smart soloutions anyone?
