I believe the drivers are in place, although I have no printer to check it with. This is strange, after the MeLabs program install a new icon which I haven't seen before came up with the start menue. It is a (MCS or Melabs logo) XP driver installer which keeps prompting me for proper administrative clearance to install? I haven't got around this yet as it is leading to a F8 or F12 boot situation. Run me through the routine if you have been there/done that. Right clicking this icon leads to compatability selections of which XP isn't listed? I'm sure the problem is in the driving of the port.
    Hi forwardbias,
    I don't use XP or the epic, but I have heard of lots of port issues with XP.
    As I understand it XP doesn't permit programs direct access to I/O.
    here are a couple of links of things to try:

    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
