So, should I bother to write down everything in Setup? I should think that a PC should be able to do this itself! Joe There's no need to write anything down. Switch on your printer. Reboot. Press the [F2] key during reboot to bring up page 1 the BIOS screen Press the [Print Screen] key. The machine will eventually print out page 1 of the BIOS settings It doesn't work on a Studio XPS 9000 with no parallel port. Are you using a parallel printer or a USB printer? Tom Lake Not only does the printer have to be a parallel printer, it has to be able to properly handle text with carriage return-line feed. So a parallel port PostScript printer would be unable to print the PrintScreen data. Furthermore, the BIOS setup screen of nearly all recent Dell computers is not organized as Page 1, Page 2, etc. The Dell BIOS "look-and-feel" is entirely different, except for some of the cheap Dells with an obvious Phoenix or Award BIOS...
