Dick... it's got to do "something" even if it's wrong! It can not do nothing unless there is a "physical" break in the connection between the laptop and the printer. Again, it can't do nothing, it must do something. Isolate your parts, i.e., use a different cable, try printing to a different printer, try using a different computer to print to the printer. The self-test does not indicate if the port is working, and even new stuff can be DOA right out of the box. Again, it's got to do something. Isolate all the connection parts between the laptop and the printer by swapping out parts until you find the part that does not function. You'll find it. It's not magic. It's physical! Good luck... -Rick-
