Hey all.

Ive just installed a samsung ML-4500 Lasrer printer on my LPT 1 port through
a serial I/O card, the communication between the pc and the printer is fine ,
it prints documents and just to make sure I ran a command prompt comunication
test to check
'copy con lpt1'
'send'
'z'

and my printer respnded

my drivers r installed corrctly , although not digtitally singed by the
kings of software themselves...Microsoft.

but device manager has no recolection of the printer under no heading wot so
ever, where is my printer listed and why is it working, if windows doesnt
even know its there????!!!.

Cheers:D

Device Manager never shows printers -- just the port to which they are
attached
