I had my printer connected to my scanner and the scanner is connected to my computer. Recently I received another computer HP and I connected the scanner and printer the same way I had it before. Now at times the printer will not work and at timesit will. I would like to know what can I do to have my printer print all the time.

Make sure your scanner is always on (no timeout/power save), the electronics act as a pass through only when the scanner is on. I have the same setup and if I turn the scanner off then nothing works...

Hope this helps,

Try to change in BIOS the settings for LPT. There you have Standard, Enhance,etc. Try for the first time Standard Mode.

why not remove all installation of the the hardware from the device manager . and do a reboot your pc and let the sytem re-detect the printer and scanner, making sure you have the drivers in hand if it need to be.
and install accordingly, should work fine after that.
