Same-O, routine, tried to add different I/O drivers from different sites to get up and running, no go. The NT,2000,XP install driver which is on the programs list with the programmer, help, etc., will not let me install it because it flags out with this "needs adminstrative privileges", which I have already set up. This may be a key to aligning the port correctly. Still searching for the cleanup with this.

I am currently logging on as the adminstrator with no change. I now have a clue as to what is causing this mess and will try to work around it later today. It has to do with XP and the port drive.

Ding Dong, the Witch is dead, had to dump all of MS upgrades and the wonderful Service Patch 2 before I regained control of the port. Everything is now working as before. One of the files may have been in conflict with the port communications.? Just for fun I may add a few of Bill G's junk back in just to see where it is. MS....love it / hate it.

That's a bit wierd...
I'm running XP Home w/ SP2 and all those patches, all updated and everything...and everything on the parallel port is working, including an old vintage Win98SE era parallel port scanner (Mustek...garbage, but it works). I don't think it's ever NOT worked.
About the only thing I can think of is maybe your BIOS setting for the parallel port (Standard, ECP, EPP, ECP/EPP) might not be set right?
Did you try (1) deleting the printers and (2) printer drivers, (3) deleting the actual parallel port ((4)allowing a complete restart), then (5) letting XP reinstall the parallel port when it restarts (not the printer driver), then (6) reinstall the printer driver?
More straws for you to grasp at I guess...
Thanks again Winblows...but what else are you going to use?
