here’s one that I’ve recently encountered. what would you say is the problem with this=unit fairly new,gwy/dell 450 or 500mhz pentium processor, plenty ram, big harddrive, win98se & off2k, user gets a hp printer 4000n /or 4550n connected direct to LPT1 port and drivers loaded.
shared out to other users. suddenly the p.c. starts functioning terribly slow, print and takes 3/4 minutes before processing lights comes on then another 5 min before it starts actually printing. you re-load drivers, remove & re-install, replace cables, increase memory, nothing resolves the problem. help, please.
