| Printer port card issue Just installed a PCI printer port card (Skymaster) as I needed an extra port. Fitted and installed ok and shows up as LPT 1 & LPT 2 in device manager in addition to the original LPT1. That parts ok. When I go to install a printer or change the current installed printer only the original LPT 1 shows on the list. No sign of 2 or 3. Any fix for this? Windows XP pro Linz |

Windows XP Pro Further information since then : This computer duel boots either XP Pro or 98SE. The card I've discovered works ok in 98SE but not in XP. Tried downloading the latest driver (Sunix).
