| | Configuring the LPT port in Vista to be able to print a DOS applic I have a legacy application that I have been using for years. I bought a new Brother 7820N printer and when I try to print using a parallel cable the printer has a message saying DATA REMAINING but doesn't print until I send a second item to the printer. Is there a way to configure the Parallel port. Going to the BIOS doesn't allow you to configure the LPT port beyond enable. |

ECC/EPP or bidirectional Maybe you can configure if you go to Control Panel / Printers folder, right mouse click on the printer icon and select Properties. Check the Ports TAB. I'm not in VISTA at the moment and don't have a parallel printer connection either so I can't check for you. |
