Got the printer uninstalled thru the control panel. Restarted windows. My printer is now in the control panel. However still no go with printing. As far as I know the drivers are up to date as windows checked for update drivers. There are 4 places where the printer cable can be installed on the back of the pc. I tried all of them and also changed the ports to various parallel and serial ports on the printer properties but still no go. The best port was lpt1. When I tried to print a short word document I eventually get printer errors. Most of the time I don't get the printer icon on the task bar which usually happens when you have a print job in the quey.

At this point I'm stymied.
