HP recommends that you systematically configure the LPT port for ECP mode. Use
the following procedure to change the setting:

2. Select Advanced > Super IO Configuration > Parallel Port Address to 378.
3. Press the Enter key and select ECP from Parallel Port Mode.
4. Press the Enter key and the F10 key to save and exit.
Tip #3. Windows 2000 Drivers Signatures
Windows 2000 checks for digital signatures on driver files to help maintain system
integrity. During the installation or update of a driver, if there is no matching
signature file Windows 2000 displays a “Digital Signature not Found” box.

To expedite release of new products, HP may ship drivers without signature files.
All Windows 2000 drivers provided by Hewlett-Packard are submitted to
Microsoft for certification testing. Upon completion of testing, Microsoft
produces signature files. HP then posts the revised driver package at
http://www.hp.com.
If a signature warning is displayed during installation of a driver, you may
override the warning. We recommend that you check the HP Website for the
latest driver package. If available, install the new driver.
You can elect to have Windows 2000 ignore signatures: Open Start > Settings >
Control Panel > System > Hardware > Driver Signing. This is helpful if you
are setting up multiple systems.
Digital signatures are a powerful way to ensure system integrity as you add
drivers to the systems - whether provided by HP or others.
