I haven't tried that printer on W2K or XP yet, but a note on hardware; many newer computers allow you to set the parallel port as spp(old standard) or epp (newer faster). You might want to check this setting in the BIOS. I had this problem with older HPII's and HPIII's when users upgraded their computers, suddenly the printer quit, and no Windblows settings would work. Once I set the port in BIOS (to SPP), no muss, no fuss, no bother.
