If you have all the latest drivers, as you said, then there isn't much more to do. Some things I'm wondering about: 1. Can you successfully print a Windows Test Page? 2. Will the printer work on a Windows 9x system? 3. If you boot via a floppy into DOS, will the printer print? 4. If you shut down ever non-essential NT process, will the printer work then? After all that, I'd be willing to call it dead. :-) But I completely understand if you just want to pick it and get a new one.
