Because I have an earlier machine/software, and the company has, of course, come out with newer (more expensive) machines, they no longer support mine.
I do have the last drivers provided...
Does the solution really relate to drivers? I don't understand the COM 1 LPT1 stuff at all. I know when I used Windows XP, I had a switch box for my printer and the reader/writer that worked.
I tried that setup, but get the same messages.
