    PhoenixBIOS - parallel port question

    A friend has an HP Pavillion (900mhz celeron) and the parallel printer she has does not work with it. We tried a second (known good) printer and it does not work either. We get an error msg saying "Port problem". I tried to look in the BIOS to see what the parallel port setting was but I've never seen a BIOS like this one before and I could not find anything on the ports anywhere in the options. Does anyone know where in PhoenixBIOS they hide the port info? (It IS in there somewhere isn't it?)
    TIA

    Hey FijiJohn!Good to see you!
    You might try also checking stuff from this thread:
    http://www.sysopt.com/forum/showthre...hlight=scanner

    If she has a scanner hooked up to it can do that.
    Keep up the good work.When I get another job and I can will be happy to be sending some gifts to the good school in Fiji.

    Best Regards!And Good Luck!

    You guys are great! If any of you want to visit Fiji (and uhh, work on a few computers) I've got a spare bedroom. I won't even make you drink kava (the national drink - often described as tasting like dirty brown novacaine).

    I'm getting back on the road Thursday. How long is the drive from Oklahoma to Fiji? (I like kava kava.)

    I was thinking heading west to California, then directly to Hawaii to refuel and maybe spend the night.... Catch an early start the next morning on the Fuji leg of the drive....
