Can you remove the port, then reinstall it?
Jeff Dougherty www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net Behalf Of Larry Browning Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 10:36 AM To: PC Questions Subject: PCWorks: LPT1 port seems to have disappeared! This is not my computer but a friends. They have Win 98 and we installed a different printer and its driver which worked on my Win98 systems just fine. Now when we look at printers the Epson 640 is dimmed and when I go to device manager and choose ports I do not see the LPT1. I have tried capture to no avail and I am not sure if the port is defective all of a sudden or what. I also disconnected the port from the back of the computer which also did not help. I also reinstalled the drivers for the Epson 640 which also did not help. I will change the cable next. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this. It worked the day I installed it. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
