Greetings all;

    My 934c had been working fine on my system, then every attempt to print met with "printer off line." The printer works fine on a Win 98se system. I have done the following;

- tried another printer cable
- deleted driver, reinstalled updated printer driver
- ensured the address for the port is listed the same in cmos and device manager (378h/irq7)
- disabled, enabled bi-directional communication
- disabled, enabled filter resource method options
- installed old drivers for motherboard
- tried another printer (Epson LQ-570+)
- ensured LPT1 is listed as working properly in Device Manager
- ensured LPT1 is enabled in Device Manager
- altered Parallel Port Mode to Normal, ECP, EPP

    I am assuming that LPT1 is dead and Device Manager just isn't able to detect the problem. Any other ideas? Also, would installing a second LPT on a separate card be an option? This printer is shared on my home network.
