Printer port not being detected by mother board
Hello,
I a using a Asus A7V266-MX mother board with an Athalon 2400+ AMD processor, I have a strange problem. For one of my softwares I have been given a hardware lock which is plugged to my Parallel port (Printer port) and only if the hardware lock is plugged in the software works, it means the software searches for the lock on the printer port and proceeds to work, the software fails to work and its not able to find the hardware lock, its a brand new mother board with the processor and the printer port works perfectly well when a printer is connected to it. I believe there is some IRQ setting that is required , i've also tried to set the parallel port IRQ to IRQ7 which is normally assigned to parallel port but that too dosent work. Can some on help me out this problem . Thanks for reading this. Rajesh VU2RPS emailto |
