[WriteLog] LPT and XP

Fri Sep 9 00:19:27 EDT 2005

Hello
Since posting the below message, the following were tried to get LPT1 
to work with WL & XP OS:
 * DirectIO configured per the DirectIO WL setup.
 * LPT1=378x37A established in writelog.ini. LPT2 and LPT3 
deleted in writelog.ini.
 * Printer removed from the computer followed by restarting the computer.
 * Various "LPT1=" settings have been tried, e.g., 
LPT1=0X37A; LPT1=378X37F......
Still no success in getting LPT1 to show up on Setup>Ports. Any 
ideas on what needs to be done to get WL, LPT1 and XP to work together?
