Hi, I have a win98 not reinstallable.

The user have 2 LPT ports ready and working in Hardware panel.

If I try to install a printer driver using .inf file Win98 tell me that
there aren't printer ports in the system. If I use a setup CD (for example
HP 1100) all setup work, but in the end I don't see printer in my printer
list.

There is some location to see win98 installed printers or some other
solution?

Thanks ins advance.

Start by checking whether LPT1 and LPT2 are
recognized by BIOS at reboot. If not, go to the
BIOS menu to check these settings.
