Maybe remove the port in device manager and let it redetect? Any other port options to configure? Sounds like some sort of bidirectional communications issue.

Both upgrades went smoothly. One has a Laserjet 1200 attached by the parallel port (LPT1) and it worked well. The other has a Laserjet 5 also connected to the parallel port with a centronics cable. It will not take the Laserjet 5 drivers with Add Printer (error). After may efforts to install the Laserjet 5 , tried the Laserjet 4. It took the driver and it print out the test page then went immediately 'offline'. The offline feature is not checked. It also showed up as shared. If I shut off the share, the Icon show ready then goes immediately to offline.
