Recently i bought a new computer which i now have fully working with all your kind help and suggestions which i am greatful for. I recently connected my old printer into the parallel port on the back of my pc and nothing happened. Windows XP Proffessional did not detect anything or recognise the printer. However when i went to print a document it showed the printer, yet it would not print, i just keep getting an error message every time i print something.
System specs:
Amd athlon 64 3400+
512mb Mushkin RAM pc3200 ddr400
ati radeon x800 pro
asus k8v motherboard
windows xp pro
120 gb western digital hard drive
Printer = HP PSC500 (printer/scanner/copier)
Thanks for any help in advance
