Cookbook 245 under Windows XP

Hi all,

in 1997, I built a Cookbook 245, connected it to a small refractor and made
some nice pictures with it.

Since 1999, I haven't used it, but with the upcoming Mars opposition, I want
to reactivate it with a Meade ETX.

However, when I tried to connect it to my present AMD 2400+ computer under
Windows XP, I seem to be unable to address the printer port.

Does anyone else have this problem, too, and is there a workaround?

Best regards,

Wolfgang

It's Windows XP - Mr Gates thinks we should all be protected from programs
that write direct to ports.
There are workarounds, the QCUIAG sites list some, or of course Win 9x will
do it...
