are you able to just print a standalone test page from the printer?

yes, it can be done.
Have you tried just printing from dos to the lpt 1 to verify your port is working?  If that works you might want to try a driver/cable or trying the printer on a different PC.

i think so. but have to try first. thanks.
Also make sure you have the correct driver for Windows 2000. This driver was not shipped with the original disks.

All older drivers must be removed first.
