Printing from lpt1

[RoyalTiger]

I cannot print anything from lpt1. If i hook the
computer up via USB it will print fine. It is as if the
port has a problem, but in device manager it shows no
problems. Have reloaded all the drivers for the printer
but it still does not work. Have also tried removing and
reinstalling the port but that doesn't help either. Does
anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried changing the LPT cable?

I would personally keep the printer on USB, it's a much better form of
communication than an old legacy connection.
