Good day, and thanks in advance for any assistance.
I am using Quicken 2000 Deluxe (yep, 2000) and I recently had a need to network my HP printer. Quicken does not recognize the printer.
The setup is this -
- I run Quicken on a Dell laptop running Microsoft XP for the OS. From this machine, I can "see" the printer on the network. I can print from other applications (Word, Notepad and a couple of specialized applications) from this computer to the networked printer.
- The printer is connected (via parallel port) to an old Sony Vaio, also running XP. I can print to this printer from both the Dell machine and the Sony machine.
- The printer itself is a Hewlett-Packard 5P with lots of life left in it. Has been trouble-free since I bought it.
Does anyone have any thoughts about why Quicken can't seem to use the networked printer? Or is the version simply too old to play with any sort of networking?
Any assistance and guru-style tricks are appreciated. Thank you.
