Hi, i recently set up a pc for a friend with windows xp pro on it. He has 3 printers - 1 usb, and 2 parallel (HP deskjet 550c and HP laserjet 4L). The problem is, i can't get either of the parallel printers to work on it. I tested them both on a laptop and the 550c works fine, but i can't seem to get the laserjet working on either.

I've tried changing the parallel port mode to eco, ecc etc in the bios, the irq, and various settings in the printer properties, but nothing makes a difference. One thing i noticed though that was when i restart the pc, the 550c makes some noise as if it is receiving a signal from the pc.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? They are driving me round the bend and i've tried everything i can think of!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Y0u didn't mention anything about the drive cd or getting newest drivers from their web sites? How did all of that go?
