I rebuild a 2k pro computer and now it will not detect the local printers?
I replaced the power supply and the motherboard in an emachine. Reinstalled the os and apps and joined the domain. Worked great. Turned it off and hooked up the hp laserjet 5 to lpt1, then turned it back on. Printer was not detected, loaded the driver anyway. Printer says ready! Can't print a test page. Printer used to work fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

check under device manager and see if anything is missing or not installed

lpt1 is missing????????? Why?
hmmph not so good, try adding a new printer and creating the port

I solved the problem myself by going into the bios and loading default settings. I guess the lpt1 port was disabled in the bios although I don't know why. Anyway it works now. Do I get the points. Im not sure what to do when I solve my own problem.
cool
