Printer port set to MDI no choice for lpt1

[Pierre Samson]

Trying to install a hp1100 connected to the parrallel port
(LPT1). But XP set it up to "Microsoft Document Interface
Port" and I can't delete or change this to be LPT1.

Anyone knows about this?

Thanks

Try setting the computer BIOS to recognize and use IRQ resources for LPT2.
Then set the printer to print to LPT2.
