Printer issue

[laurapants]

I had an old HP printer so added a parallel port PCI card to my system. The printer shows up as a choice when I go to print. The printer however does not show up under devices and printer folder. I am trying to remove the printer from the system and from showng up as an available printer when I go to print.

Type services in search

In services look for bluetooth, and set to automatic. I know this sounds crazy, but it works 9 out of 10 times. Unfortunately, you may be number 10. With an old printer it may not employ blue tooth technology. But give it a shot.

I had read this somewhere else, but cannot get to bluetooth. Running Wndows 7 home prem 32 bit. Went to devices and drivers and typed bluetooth in search box - says nothing found? Where do I find it

Go to search, by start button and type services. Bluetooth is in services.

Found it - thanks, set it to automatic, rebooted the system. Still do not show up. Any other suggestions?
