I have an HP 1310. I have had it installed for over a year now, and has been working great. But it has stopped working now and I am almost 100% sure it is the Port I am useing. But whitch Port SHOULD I use? How can I figure this out?

It is a "local" connection connected to a home computer.

Is that a USB printer or a parallel port printer? Your user manual should be able to tell you. If it is a network printer, you can re-install the printer and it should reconfig by itself and should work fine.

what cable you had /have use ? if is the USB cable then you have to use the USB port. In this case you may want to: unplug the printer cable, wait 1 minute and plug in back. Your computer should see the printer as a new hardware founded. If doesn't work try a different USB port of your computer.
if you are using the parallel printer cable you should connect the printer on LPT1 port.
if nothing work... delete the old print driver ...and reinstall the print driver following the user manual.

If it is a USB printer, use an USB port, or if a parallel port printer, use that. I suggest you right click on my computer and check disk manager. See if Univer serial bus has a plus by it and no other orange exclamation points show at com ports. If there is a defect, reinstall software.
