How can I change the current printer setup

LPT1:(ENHANCED PRINTER PORT)
TO
LPT1:(PRINTER PORT)

The problem was: Windows can print to the OKI printer, even word star or lotus however, all CLIPPER-(DOS BASED) programs cannot.

I read an article before about this however, I misplaced the article.

It was noted that enhanced printer port setting specially on windows 95 sometimes has a conflict on the speed of transferring (buffering) data to the printer.

I just want to know the step by step procedure how can I change the ENHANCED SETTING TO STANDARD.

Thanks

Generally your bios will allow you to select LPT or ECP Port. If you change an ECP to LPT it will limit the functionality and perhaps prevent the problems you are having. Before making the change I would delete the printer port in the device manager and it should re-install as a normal LPT when the computer boots up.
