I have mine using a parallel port instead of the USB. Is that option available? I remember that it involved changing the setting to the ECP MODE in the BIOS

I friend told me that printers do better with the parallel. I seem to recall him talking about it being faster than USB in the case of a printer

perhaps someone here can confirm that

I've had no problems since I made the BIOS changes. I do have to give the machine an extra 3 minutes at startup so that all of the printing "checklists" can run through all of the parameter stuff...If I try to do anything prior to it finishing my machine freezes up
