    I'm dual-booting 98 & XP. My printer (HP LaserJet III) is connected to LPT2, which is an add-on card. My MoBo LPT1 has my LS120 drive.

    XP doesn't recognise LPT2 (which I assume means it doesn't recognise the card), so I can't install the printer. 98 and 2000 both had no problems with this configuration.

    Any ideas?

    LaserJet III!!!!! I'm surprised it hasn't burnt your house down!!!!

    Is the LPT2 card an PnP card? Does it show up as an unidentified device?
