I have a stupid gateway pc that has only usb ports (5)I installed a plug and play
(Parallel) IO card in order to attach a Panasonic copier/fax/printer. The copier and fax works but cant get printer to work. error says printer port is being used by another device.
PC configures IO card as LPT1 using IRQ5. I would like to change it to either LPT2 and IRQ5 or LPT1 and IRQ7 but the system will not let me change the settings. I cant even access the bios because during boot up the pc says press F1 to change settings but pressing f1 does nothing. Tried to reserve IRQ 5,4,3 etc to force it to load to irq 7 but it wont. any suggestions on how to change configuration or how to get into gateway BIOS.
Thanks in advance
