Printer help!

(-StarWarrior-) · 03-03-2005, 05:25 PM

I rebooted my whole computer, and reinstalled everything in my drives.
All I needed was to install the printer CD.
Which I did, And clicked on " Install now"

Suddenly, I get this message:

missing 16-bit module COMM.DRV

Can anyone help out here? I got no idea whatever the hell this is about.
If I need to down load anything or something, please post them.
Explain why it is doing this. Please, I got a project to print out.
