Bad choice of location. That's where the OMNI drivers must install. You
probably didn't break anything but you have made maintenance difficult.
You were supposed to unzip to a work directory and delete the contents of
the work directory when you were done with it. This is how all IBM
drivers install.

Rather than complaining that the directions don't suit your taste, perhaps
you should make spend the time to ensure you understand them.

This appears to be a hardware connection issue. I think the object is
trying to tell you it can't see the printer. The port has to be set
bidirectional and you need a bidirectional cable.

Can you request a cleaning cycle from the printer object settings? IIRC,
there's an option for this.

What happens if you do:

copy \config.sys lpt1

HTH,
