I wanted to install printer on lpt2 but could not as it is only listed in
hardware profile but not among the local print ports (i have all 5 coms but
only lpt1 there). I tried to add it manualy as lpt2 no success..

When I connected the printer to LPT2 , new hardware found apperared in Xps
but failed to install driver automaticlly..

ZIP drive was not detected on this LPT2

Would very appreciate any help
