    Question LPT printer port Compaq Presario 1220

    After reinstalling Win95 on a Compaq Presario 1220 notebook (unfortunately without an original restore CD!) everything works allright, except the LPT printer port. Searching for new hardware doesn't seems to bring the solution.

    1) how should the printer port be installed?
    2) how can the BIOS be reached?

    Go to Control Panel/System/Device Manager...go to Ports...do all of your COM ports show up there? How about LPT? Any errors, conflicts, etc.?

    While I don't have an obvious solution to your problem, you might check out Compaq's website below for your model:
    http://web14.compaq.com/falco/sp_lis...0&cat=Notebook

    There is a link for downloading diagnostics...also a link for downloading your manual.

    Hopefully, this will help you out...Good Luck!

    You might also want to boot into SAFE MODE and see if there are more than 1 PRT: ports listed. If so delete them all and reboot.
