Printer won't print with XP
I have just upgraded toXP and my printer Canon 210SP will not work or my scanner It was suggested to me that I should go into the Bios under Peripherals and change the setting under the Printer Port. Unfortunately there is nothing like there under Peripherals. Is there something wrong with my BIOS, should it be there and if not why not.
Since you don't mention the board you have, the following could be the problem:
a) In BIOS, wrong selection of ECP or EPP mode (LPT).
b) Driverwise, if you have a VIA-based board, then you might need to install the VIA USB FILTER update (only if any of the devices is USB-based).
c) Your Printer/Scanner drivers aren't up to date for use with XP.
