Now I'm really confused. When I first installed the printer, LPT`1

Just to add a little more confusion, I wrote up some notes on this
subject a long time, ago, and tweak them from time to time, as at:

Might also help to clarify a few issues for you...

I might be all wrong here but this is how I have understood it. If I'm
leading you down the wrong path, hopefully someone here will correct my
mistakes before they go on to become the gospel.

The Gospel According to Rodney the Wise. I like! (I'm doing a little
research on Gildas Sapiens, Gildas the Wise, so this idea drew a chuckle.)

Compared to that, anything from me is gnostic at best. But when I install a
printer in XP, it asks me, "Will you use this printer with DOS?" or some
such. So maybe its just a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling the
printer, and checking this box.

I like to suggest simple stuff, like plugging it in and throwing the "On"
switch. Occasionally, it solves the problem.
