You may also want to look at parallel port settings in your BIOS.  I 
couldn't print when I got a new computer despite the fact that I had just 
moved an existing install from one box to another.

It turned out to be the parallel port settings ECP/EPP/SPP/??? - the data 
light would blink but nothing would print.  Only the SPP setting results in 
a functional printer.  My printer is a Samsung QL5100A.
