Hello, I have to repair an old PC of an old man.
This PC has Windows Millenium Edition.
The computer is blown out. The power supply made a puff of smoke because some of the motherboard capacitors were swollen.
The Ps/2 mouse no longer works and has been replaced with a USB one.
Replacing the ECS socket 370 motherboard with one of an assembled one (from a Compaq Desktop EP called Compaq Hendrix), everything works except the Canon LBP-800 LTP printer.
I did not reinstall anything, as I connected the hard disk to the PC and after a couple of reboots it self-configured (no internet connection).
However,the printer is not found by the operating system and Canon software, it shows Printer is not connected. I check the cable and it's connected. Suggestions?
In the BIOS I put paralel port as ECP+ESP and tried also as bidirectional, but no progression.
Regards,
M.
My first PC had Windows 98 os.
