how to change parallel port to ecp?

Question

win 98, need to change bios settings no port found for canon 5100printer. need to hook up but wont accept. after printer name. how can i do this to use my printer. pc is older acer?

Answer 1

As an alternative though, it doesn't look like this printer is supported under Windows XP so it must be an older printer.

If you need to enter the BIOS setup to change the communications type look for a message when you first turn the computer on. Some computers use F1, some use DEL, some use CTRL+ESC+DEL
