Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum, and haveminimal experience with Windows and have been doing a lot of studying for certs & all....I encountered this question below while studying, and can't figure it out:

A HP deskjet color printer is attached to an NT server on LPT1 and share on a network. After working for several months, you can no longer print documents from the server console to that printer. No error message is generated. Other Windows 98 users on the network can print to this printer. Both the server and printer have been rebooted several times. Re-installation of the driver was attempted and an "unrecognized option" error was generated. The printer's uninstall program was run and the
printer icon remains in the print folder. what is the most probable solution to this printer problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Go to Printer set up, select the printer in question, right click properties, then check the box that says something like Enable Legacy support and check it.

Reboot and see if that helps, also do a search on this forum, there is tons of infomation on known problems with NT and its LPT ports problems. This is where I have found most of my worthwhile info regarding NT Parallel problems.

Cheers
