it sounds like the printer port hardware isn't configured right. this is done in the BIOS and so you probably want to have the person who built the computer do the work for you.

Hello, Im running Windows XP Home on a new Custom Built System and trying to use a Epson Stylus C84 Printer (used the printer on other systems in the house and worked great) The DRiver installs properly(i have already uninstalled and reinstalled diffrent ways many times)But when i go to print, it says- print failed and then printer starts spitting out sheets with "DENL$56<4.4" all over the paper over and over and over.... Its not a printer prob., i hooked up on daughters system and worked just fine. I have tried contacting the person who built computer but hes outta town (so far with problems hes been wonderful) Any ideas on how to get my darn printer to print????
Thank You
