missing lpt1

my lpt is missing. I've tried reinstalling the printer, removing the lpt port and letting win95 autodetect it(it comes back as a printer port that doesn't work.) It prints under dos. But it won't print in windows. and it is set as the default printer.

Okay Tom, then the above solution should work. We may have to remove the port manually from device manager if this doesn't work. Packard Bells to have some problems with port ID's in Win95.
