    Need Input ...
    Are both PC's the same type ?

    USB or parallel ?

    Some printer drivers hog resources and prevent a second printer - esp the parallel port

    BIOS settings can also affect the parallel port OFF/ AT / PS/2 / EPP / ECP etc.

    Does anyother printer work on that machine ?
    (the old fall back - viruses / malware can do strange things )

    Unlikely to be the PnP service disabled but stranger things have happened.

    Thanks Capt'n Midnight.

    I have it sorted now. I tried using the USB ports on the front of the PC and it works perfectly so for some reason the USB ports at the back aren't working.

    I'll be reformatting the PC over the weekend and re-installing Windows XP so I'll give it another shot then to see if that help.

    Cheers
