If you still can get a parallel port card particularly one that offers

Maybe wndows 98se would recognize that as new hardware. good
luck. though I think Branch Ricky said something to the effect that luck
is only the residue of preparation or planning.
Thanks for the post. Patricia, who knows more than a thing or two about
printer problems, sent me a very long post on rebuilding the system. I was
almost at the point of reformat/rebuild when a tech suggested at least
trying to re-installing W98SE over the system on the disk. Since I had
nothing to lose at that point, I did it. To make a long story short, it
worked. Some problems but they are solvable. Got LPT1 back.
