I reinstall win95 osr2 because of a virus attack, but now when reinstall the drivers for my BJC250 Canon printer I cannot print anything. It seems the port is wrong or not properly configured, because change the printer and happens the same.
Appeared an error mesage saying the communication with the LPT1 port failed.
Any ideas??

Go to Start-Settings-Printers in the printers window delete all printers,turn on printer,reboot the system and see if windows detects the printer if it does then proceed to load software.
The other option Open Control Panel=Double-click the system icon,select the general tab and go down to ports and click on plus highlight the LPT1 port if available and click the remove button,reboot the system and reload the printer.
