⓯ Go to the CMOS setting of the computer and verify that the parallel port and USB port is enabled and configured properly



⓰ in the BIOS setting of the computer ,check the parallel port mode. Ensure that the printer is not set to ECP mode . This is because the ECP mode is not suitable for the working  of many printer .



⓱  in the BIOS setting ,check the parallel port IRQ .it is  preferable to set the IRQ to 7 The sound card of the computer generally uses the IRQ 5. AS a result ,there can be a conflict  between the printer and sound card 


⓲ Printers that require bi-directional communication need to have the parallel port enabled accordingly .This can be done by setting the parallel port mode to EPP ( enhanced accordingly port ) in the  BIOS settings.
